Self-threading needles sound like magic don't they? But have you ever wondered how they actually work?
It's quite simple - Easy Thread Needles have a small fork at the top of the eye that has a tiny opening in it. The thread can be pulled down through this fork, and will be held in place while sewing.
How to use Easy Thread Needles:
- Place thread in fork at the top of needle
- Firmly pull the thread down between the prongs
- The thread will be held in the eye of the needle - the prongs close tightly so that it won't slide out of the eye as it is pulled through fabric.
- Works best with strong polyester threads - some cotton threads can break when being pulled through the narrow fork of the needle.
Self-threading needles are great for when you want to quickly thread a needle to do a quick bit of mending, or don't want to grab your glasses to see the tiny eye of a needle.
