Exactly how do you determine which thread to pull on the reverse side of jeans??!! It was not obvious, and this ‘how to’ didn’t explain that essential part. Struggled for 15 min, then went on to another youtube how-to that worked easily (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--tHHF_M... ). With this other tutorial, I fixed two pairs in under 10 min.

I did have to try to find the strings (that were snagged) to pull through but with a little patience it worked beautifully! Thanks for the tutorial! I was proud of myself for finally using my little sowing kit! And people are jerks with the comments!
