Machine Corner: When was the last time you changed your needle? We all too often neglect this simple task that makes a HUGE difference in our sewing. Just this week, I found that the needle I was using wasn't the right needle for what I was sewing... skipped stitches were telling me that I needed a larger needle. Once I replaced my needle, smooth sailing!
