How to Sew

How to thread a needle:
We found a few sites with and without graphics that will help - StitchersNeedle (has photos), eHow (no graphics), and this one from ExpertVillage has a video with and without a needle threader.

How to sew by hand:
Until we can show you ourselves, try these links - DigsMagazine shows you how to hem, Fiber-Images provides some nice illustrations for hand stitching, and the folks at Tide have some pretty good instructions for simple button sewing.

How to use a rotary cutter:
I wrote a small project with photos about how to use a rotary cutter when I was doing content for SewingWeb.com. It's easy to follow and should get you started.
