I did use the layer of interfacing (SF 101) inside....it's my favorite interfacing ever! It's nice and thin and added just the right amount of body to the fabric, I wouldn't skip it.<br /><br />Hope that helps!<br /><br />AJAmanda Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06311818385469850186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-1030031197788149892015-11-22T21:53:36.811-06:002015-11-22T21:53:36.811-06:00AH!

It is sort of obvious when you think about it, as the eye is not always just in the same spot on each needle, and also, you have to have the needle positioned so the eye is in the correct alignment, or the threader just jabs against it instead of going through... <br />Just saying.
