the metal loop type are the easiest. However, thin thin fishing line is
also very good.
Take a 6 inch piece
I just staple everything. Much easier than trying to thread a needle.

Dental loops work well too if the eye of your needle is big enough.

I think fuse wire is used to make your own fuses in countries that haven't
caught up with the rest of the world where you can just go to the store and
buy ready made fuses

Linda! You can make your own by taking a short length of fuse wire and
doubling it. Put the thread
in the elbow and poke it through the eye in the needle. The wire will take
the thread through and
then all you need to do is hold

I need to do some hand sewing
Aloha Linda,
I agree with Dave's email. I have used both of
those threading solutions. I keep the wire loop
kind in my purse in case I am out somewhere and
don't have the self-threading needles around.
Before 911, I used to carry a self-threading
needle in my purse, but not anymore of course.

hi there
any sewing store or maybe benfranklen stores or even a good drug store will
have the threaders that are the looped wire kind
you just ask and there not hard to find.
there is no need to go through a products for the blind store cause that is
just getting robbed.

Aloha,
I think the web site was provided for the
possible purchase of needles that are already threaded.
I've seen the wire type needle threaders in the
notions section of the grocery store. Many
travel-sized sewing kits come with them inside
with several colors of thread, a thimble,
to complete the process. I think I
likely bought it from a sewing supplies center.

the split eye needle will not easily let the thread back out as it is a
mini lobster clasp not just a V.
i forgot about these.
