Self-Threading Hand Needles, No. 5-9, 6 PC

I ordered these rather pricey needles thinking they were side threading instead of top threading. No fault of the needles themselves, but not what I wanted as the top threading needles shred the thread.The price was quite a lot for what they are, but the needles themselves are nice and sharp, burr free, and eliminate the threading difficulty posed by regular needles and my aging eyes. I'm still looking for side threading needles, but in the interim, these are doing the job nicely. As a matter of fact, I just finished an entirely hand stitched 1890s ladies bathing suit with one of these!

Brauche die Nadeln, um beim Quilten die Fäden unsichtbar zwischen die Stofflagen einzuziehen. Die Fäden sind oft etwas kurz. Hier funktioniert die Nadel super, weil man nicht rumpfriemeln muss, um den Faden durchs Öhr zu bekommen.

Mixed views so far. Certainly a joy to thread a needle, no more fighting to get the thread through the eye of the needle but would have preferred a few larger needles for thicker thread.

A very handy pack of needles at a good price. It can get frustrating having to keep threading needles when crafting or sewing but with these, they are a great time saver as I tend to take a while to thread normal needles. Takes away the need to use a loop threader to put through a normal needle to pull thread through.. simple idea but very effective. A pack of 6 for just £2 delivered is very good value to. Recommended.

I was able to thread these very readily but they are a little smaller than expected and only one size. They unthread when you pull the needle after making a stitch which is annoying. I would have preferred a variety of sizes but wouldn't buy again because of coming undone in use.

These are good but sometimes they unthread as easily as they thread.
