Getting ready to #handsew Lots of good television

Getting ready to #handsew Lots of good television to watch today. Pull thread off your bobbin (so it won’t twist while sewing). To the elbow and back (that’s long enough). Wax (to smooth & make it stiff) and press between paper towels (so you don’t get wax on your press mat). Sharpen in your strawberry (emory is there). Let’s sew!
