Thread your needle easily; no need to squint! On this tapestry needle, the top of the eye has been cut to allow the thread to pass through from above. To use, simply hold both your needle and thread with the thumb and forefinger of one hand, and with the other hand, grasp the thread, pulling it gently but firmly over the "V" down into the eye of the needle. From John James. Four needles per card.
Reviews From Customers Who Purchased This Item
from United States on 04/12/2014 - not as expected These may be great for sewing, but for 2-thread cross stitch, NOT. The thread does not slide as you need it, and eventually frays and breaks where it is in the needle. Not for cross stitch as advertised. I put them away and am not using them.
