About This Video
Van's sewing guide in 53 seconds. Use strong thread, not 100% cotton. Use a strong needle with a pretty big eye. Tie a knot that's bigger than the hole the needle bore into the fabric. Tie off your stitches before the thread gets too short to tie a decent knot. That's all he was ever taught about sewing. The rest one can figure out on one's own. The guide is pitched at people who've never threaded a needle, which is most people.
