The Northeast Iowa Quilters’ Guild will convene virtually on January 6, 2024, at 19:00 for its monthly meeting. Members will participate from the comfort of their homes, engaging in a program led by Rhonda Pierce from Schmetz Needles. This session, titled “What Needle Should I Use?” aims to demystify the often-overlooked aspect of quilting—choosing the right needle.
Understanding the correct needle to use can significantly impact the quality of a quilting project. During the meeting, Pierce will address common questions such as the meaning of the numbers on needle packages and the importance of changing needles before they break. Attendees will learn how this small but crucial component can resolve issues like broken threads, skipped stitches, and puckered fabrics.
Sewing machines represent a significant investment, and using the right needle is vital for ensuring their longevity and optimal performance. The session promises to provide valuable insights into selecting the appropriate needle for different projects, enhancing members’ crafting experience.
The Zoom link for the meeting will be distributed closer to the event date. For additional details, interested parties can visit the Northeast Iowa Quilters’ Guild’s official website at www.neiqg.com or follow their Facebook page.
