Preventing a Bent Sewing Machine Needle
Submitted by Anna Victoria Reich
When finishing LAST stitch on your machine, pull the upper thread loose by hand, so this will not bend the needle when taking the fabric away. Then raise the pressure foot and pull the fabric towards the machine. Make sure that both threads are about 4" from the edge of fabric before cutting the threads.
