When I think of threading the needle, and because I’m a guy, my mind shifts to football and basketball, not so much the beautiful fluffy works of sewing various cloths together. Regardless of genre, threading the needle requires perfection in moving something through a difficult obstacle and coming out neatly on the other side.
