Description

6 Easy Self-Threading Needles - no need for glasses.

Made for Trendy Trims The original open eyed needle threads from the top. It is also called the "self threading" or "French Spring eye" or "Calyx eye"

Slot in outer eye allows for easy threading. Just pull the thread down into the eye from above.

For general use, handsewing. Sizes 4-8.
(Needles 2 size #4, 2 size #6 & 2 size #8) 6 needles per card.

How it works: Stabilize the needle by placing the pointed/sharp end down into a bar of soap or cork. Grasp the thread with the thumb and index fingers of both hands, leaving an inch or less free between your fingers. The thread should be taut, but not pulled so tightly that it will break. (Note: Do not cut the thread at this point. Keep it connected to the spool, since it is much easier to locate if it is still attached.) Using one of your index fingers as a guide, bring the taut thread to rest on the top of the needle. Lay the taut thread across the "V-shaped" notch that is located directly above the eye of the needle. To insert/lock the thread into the eye of the needle, use downward pressure to push the thread through the "V" notch and down into the eye of the needle directly below the notch. Pull down firmly with both hands until you hear or feel the thread "click" or "shift" or "lock" into place. As soon as you hear or feel the thread "click" or "shift" or "lock," stop pushing the thread downward, or it may break. Your needle will now be threaded. To test if the needle is threaded, lift the thread slightly to determine if it is secured within the eye of the needle. You will feel a slight resistance if it is threaded properly. You can now cut the thread, severing it from the spool. Finish by making a knot of your choice.
