The **Northeast Iowa Quilters’ Guild** will hold its monthly meeting virtually on **January 6, 2024**, at **19:00** (7 p.m.) via Zoom. Members will participate from the comfort of their homes to engage in a presentation by **Rhonda Pierce** from **Schmetz Needles**, focusing on the essential topic, “What Needle Should I Use?”
This session aims to clarify common questions regarding sewing needles, including what the various numbers mean on needle packages and the importance of changing needles before they break. Pierce will explain how selecting the right needle can significantly impact sewing outcomes, addressing issues such as broken threads, skipped stitches, and puckered fabrics. Understanding these details is crucial for quilters, as using the appropriate needle can enhance the performance of their sewing machines, which are often considered valuable investments.
Participants can expect a comprehensive overview of how this small but vital component can resolve significant sewing challenges. The link to join the Zoom meeting will be distributed closer to the event date.
In addition to the main presentation, the meeting will include a short business discussion, announcements, and a show-and-tell segment where members can share their latest projects. The **Northeast Iowa Quilters’ Guild**, a **501(c)(3)** non-profit organization, meets on the first Tuesday of every month and welcomes new members.
