    I'm not sure how to explain threading it, so you'll have to look on youtube for a tutorial for that. Anyway, I know a lot about everything else. You know how there's a peddle that's connected to the machine? You put your foot on it to make the needle go.
    But first you put what you want to sew underneath the needle. You probably know to do this, but I'm not sure, so make sure you sew on the edges of the fabric (well, it depends what your making, but on most projects, you should do this.) When your ready to start sewing, pull the lever that's behind where the needle is down so that the foot clamps down on the fabric, put your foot down on the peddle, and your basically ready! Sorry, that wasn't a very detailed descritption, so you should probably also look at youtube tutorials.

    Ok, I have no idea if this will work, because I've never made a necklace like this, but I think to make it easier for you to drill a hole in it, you should drill it through the middle of the toy. This might make it take a shorter amount of time, and it might be easier. I couldn't see what you wanted to make the necklace out of, so I'm not sure if that's what you should do. Sheila A. sounds like she has better ideas...you should probably listen to her! Happy

    A lot of people don't realize that you can get SO many materials from your house. Basically, all I use in my crafts (that don't include sewing) are things I find in my house. If you find any cartons, use the caps to make a necklace, or the actual carton to make a bag.Also, when I want materials, I just ask my friends to give me their old magazines, gum cases, bottlecaps, or paper clips, and I can make a lot out of that. This should help you make a ton of crafts without paying for anything. Happy
