I had a very wierd moment yesterday. I was sewing through a lot of layers of denim, I'm making bags from Jeans again and where I insert the zip across the waistband it gets preety thick. So I'm happily sewing along when the thread snapped, so I went to rethread, however because of the bulk of the denim I couldn't thread very easily either with the zip foot up or down, and I didn't want to remove the item as it's a bit of a "pig" to get back in once I'm half way along. My odd moment came when I realised I couldn't see the eye of the needle very well while threading from the left hand so I swopped hands, ie. the hand pushing the thread into the needle is now my right hand ( by the way I am threading from front to back) Then it occured to me, I am right handed yet I thread my needle with my left hand ! Is that the way I was taught or is that normal? Prahaps I've been doing it wrong all these years. Whichever it was a very disconcerting discovery, any thoughts?
