The Northeast Iowa Quilters’ Guild is set to convene virtually on January 6, 2024, at 19:00. Members will participate from the comfort of their homes to attend an informative session led by Rhonda Pierce from Schmetz Needles. The meeting will focus on the crucial topic of needle selection in sewing, titled “What Needle Should I Use?”
Understanding the right needle for various projects can be confusing. Many sewists often wonder about the significance of the numbers displayed on needle packages and whether changing a needle before it breaks really matters. Pierce will address these concerns, emphasizing how the choice of needle can significantly impact sewing outcomes, including issues like broken threads, skipped stitches, and puckered fabrics.
Using the right needle is not merely a detail; it is essential for maintaining the integrity of a sewing machine, which represents a substantial investment for many crafters. This session promises to provide valuable insights that can enhance the sewing experience for all participants.
The Zoom link for the meeting will be distributed closer to the event date, ensuring that all members can easily join the discussion. For further details, interested individuals can visit the Northeast Iowa Quilters’ Guild’s official website at www.neiqg.com or check their Facebook page under the name Northeast Iowa Quilters’ Guild.
The Northeast Iowa Quilters’ Guild operates as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, meeting on the first Tuesday of each month. Each gathering typically includes a brief business meeting, announcements, a show-and-tell segment, and a featured program or presentation. New members are always encouraged to attend and become part of this vibrant community of quilters.
This upcoming virtual meeting represents an opportunity for quilters to learn and enhance their skills while connecting with others who share their passion for sewing.
