How to thread tapestry needle for crochet? I am trying to teach myself to crochet. I have 2 edges that I need to attach together.

And then it magically holds the pieces together. I don't understand! I just want to sew the pieces together with yarn and a yarn needle but I don't even know how to start by threading the needle! I have no experience with this whatsoever!

Thread Crochet: How to assemble motifs for a tablecloth? I've made doilies before; but this is my first tablecloth. It requires a total of 176 motifs, and when finished the tablecloth will be 11 rows of 16 motifs each. Oh, the motifs are square-shaped. This pattern has me assembling as I go, i.e., the first motif is made and completed. Then the second (and all remaining) motif is joined to the first motif while crocheting the last row. The joining round has two separate instructions... for One Side Joining and Two Side Joining. I understand all that and how to join... but I am not sure *how* to add the motifs. Do I just make a row of 16 motifs and then for the 17th, just start joining to Motif #1 on Row 1? Or, do I join in a diagonal fashion? Like make Motif #1, the attach Motif #2 to Motif #1's bottom edge; then Motif #3 joined to Motif #1's right edge; then Motif #4 joined to M#2's right edge & M#3's bottom edge? Am I over-thinking this? Thank you SO much for your help! I promise to give 10pts for Best Answer! Cindy

Thread--or even a few strands of yarn--would be thinner than the yarn and I would think it would come un-weaved from the yarn easier.
