Val Brooks wrote a new post, Self-threading Needles 8 years, 5 months ago
Dread having to bury all those threads after quilting? A self-threading needle will save you loads of time and it simply won’t be the chore it once was.
A ‘self-threading needle’ has a cut made in the top o…

Use this all the time

Great idea! I currently use my large eyed gold plated cross stitch needles as they are a bit easier to thread.
-
Personally I found these would shred the thread more often than not when I used them. I am however the pleased owner of some Spiral Eye needles which work in a similar fashion (without the shredding) and they are excellent.

I hope you enjoy the various methods of making these cute little blocks. I love the size of 2 1/2″ squares, they are kind of my go-to size for squares, so the following tutorial is based on that size.

Thanks for visiting and commenting Carol. I am very happy that I wrote all this down because until it becomes second nature to me it is great to be able to refer to it – rather than having to figure it out every time!
