sewing denim

this fine silk thread and these tiny needles….flow through denim like butter.   the needles require enormous   FOCUS  to thread… this silk or a single strand of embroidery thread…..  but as you go,  you get better and better at it.   it also was discipline for small stitches,  which i needed.    I'd never hesitate stitching denim with these.  and look forward to the repair.

    Enjoy it!
    I am not comfortable with long thin needles.
    To discover what works for you is what it is all about. There are so many ways.

    I got my mom’s sewing stuff after she died. Included was a tiny plastic ziplock with 30-40 tiny needles – just over an inch long, very thin and with tiny eyes. I don’t remember her ever using these and I have a hard time seeing myself using them! But maybe I’ll give them a try someday, especially since you report they slide through heavy fabrics.
