When sewing somthing, always turn it inside out and leave an end open and then flip it back to the right side then sew that end up. *Note: When sewing a pillow, dont leave a whole end open, just a small space, but it has to be big enough to stuff the filling in. When threading a needle, DONT wet the end and then put it through cause if you do, it will make the thread get all tangled (I learnd this from past experience) *If you are using a sewing machine, keep the clamp strait
