    ALSO IF YOU CUT YOUR THREAD AT AN ANGLE IT WILL BE EASIER TO THREAD YOUR NEEDLE... HAPPY QUILTING

    It's also easier to thread the needle from the spool before you cut.

    I do cut my thread at an angle. If I have trouble threading I have turned my thread around but never thought of turning the needle around.
