Quirks

I proposed this question!

Is there anything that you do while you are stitching that is kind of weird or unusual? A quirky habit maybe? Or anything that you do that makes you think, Hey...I wonder if anyone else does this?

I asked Lee to use this question, because I have a quirk or two.

One of the things I do is push the needle backwards through the fabric, using the stubby end instead of the pointed end. I usually do this only when I'm near the end of a length of thread and need want to get one or two more stitches out of the piece I'm using. I know, it's terrible to use the last remaining inch or so of thread because it's been abused being pulled over and over again through the fabric, but I really hate changing out the thread for just a couple of stitches. I will go to great lengths to rethread the needle instead of just switching the thread out. Lame, eh?
