How to put a needle in a sewing machine

This is a basic skill to have but not one to overlook.

The general rule is to change your needle every eight hours of sewing or at the start of every new project, whichever is sooner, but you will find your sewing so much more enjoyable if you swap your needles around mid project.

So, if you’re a bit unsure of how to change your needle, here’s how to do it:
