Thanks to our grandparents, folk signs and superstitions have been preserved in everyday life, warning about why it is impossible to sew on the road. 
'Do not go on the road – there will be no luck' – folk saying
The necessary items for embroidery are a needle and thread. The ball of thread was compared to the road ahead. And the needle was perceived as an attribute of black magic.
Signs and superstitions
- “Don't go on the road – there will be no luck” – folk omens.
- Do not knit knots on threads before a long journey – you will confuse your path.
- Do not sew if your relative or loved one is on the way. So, you can lead him off the right path.
- Embroidering with a long thread, the girl took her future husband away from herself. It was believed that the shorter the thread, the closer the house of the young man she will marry.
- Are the stitches uneven and the thread tangled? This means that the road will be winding and difficult.
However, not everyone agrees with this answer to the question why it is impossible to sew on the road. There is an opposite sign. It is believed that if you do not sew up the holes, then luck will seep through them and leave its owner. The traveler's road will be extremely difficult, with troubles and hardships.
Conspiracies for a safe and successful road
Let's say we know why we can't sew before the road, but we can't put off work at the moment. In this case, there are certain rituals to help avoid trouble:
- If you are sewing your own thing, then you need to sew the stitches in silence, biting your tongue.
- If someone sews a thing on you, then he needs to clamp the thread between his lips.
However, no conspiracies help a person as much as reading a prayer. Sincerely ask your Guardian Angel or the protector of all travelers Nicholas the Wonderworker for help, and bad luck will pass you by.
