Spiral Eye Needles

 When ever I have a few minutes

to sit

I pull out my 

Festive Cheer quilt

 and relax 

with some hand work.

 I am in the process of hand appliqueing

60 circles

to the center of each block.

Call me crazy, but I find hand work

therapeutic.

Never the less, all those circles

means a lot of threading of needles,

my least favorite part of the process.

 When I reached my 40's those little holes

in the needles seemed to get smaller and smaller,

and now that I'm in my 50's

they are a complete blur.

Pulling out the reading glasses 

doesn't even help much.

 I was pretty excited when I was contacted recently 

by Pam Turner

and asked if I would review

Spiral Eye Needles

the side threading needle.

I need this needle!

Simply wrap the thread around the base 

of the needle,

pull up until you feel the thread reach the notch

and then pull down

securing the thread.

It's as easy as that!

Spiral Eye Needles

are 100% stainless steel

and made here in America.

My main concern was wondering

if the thread would stay threaded.

Answer: Yes!

I'm using the basic sharp SE 8-Q

for short stitches as I applique

and I find the needle a little thicker than

I am used to, but other than that

I'm a fan of 

Spiral Eye Needles

and will be using them again and again.
