The Northeast Iowa Quilters’ Guild will conduct its monthly meeting virtually on January 6, 2024, at 19:00. Members will join via Zoom to participate in a program presented by Rhonda Pierce from Schmetz Needles. This month’s topic, “What Needle Should I Use?”, aims to clarify common confusions surrounding needle selection.
Participants can expect an informative session that addresses crucial questions about sewing needles. Many sewists often wonder what the various numbers on needle packages signify. Pierce will discuss the importance of changing needles before they break and how using the right needle can prevent issues such as broken threads, skipped stitches, and puckered fabrics. The goal is to emphasize that a sewing machine is a significant investment, and using the best needle is fundamental to its maintenance.
Meeting details, including the Zoom link, will be distributed to members as the date approaches. For further information, interested individuals can visit the Northeast Iowa Quilters’ Guild homepage at www.neiqg.com or check the NEIQG Facebook page.
The Northeast Iowa Quilters’ Guild is recognized as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and convenes on the first Tuesday of each month. Meetings typically begin with a brief business session followed by announcements, a show-and-tell segment, and a featured program or presentation. The guild is open to new members, encouraging anyone interested in quilting to join and participate in their community activities.
