Hello, thank you for checking out my Craft Revue channel :)
This is how I thread a needle when hand-sewing faux fur. I tend to quadruple-thread the needle as shown in this video, but double threading would be fine for decorative seams or lighter weight faux furs.
All-purpose sewing thread is a good choice, and I recommend an embroidery needle for its sturdiness. For faux fur with an extra heavy backing, I recommend using a leather needle. For backings that feel plastic-y and stiff, a canvas needle would make your sewing easier.
If you're having trouble getting the needle through an extra stiff fabric without hurting your fingers, consider using a metal thimble to protect your sewing hand. Running the thread over beeswax before sewing will prevent the threads from separating and tangling.
Thank you for visiting!
