Pam Turner of Minnesota created this Spiral Eye Needle, a sewing needle that's easy to thread, thanks to a "sideways" opening that admits thread as it slides down the needle's length.I use a little doohickey-thing (does it have a name?) on those few occasions when I try to sew something, but I'll admit this looks even easier.
Via Boing-Boing.
your doohickey is a "needle threader." simple as that.
ReplyDeleteThere are also self threading "calyx eye" needles which have been around for a long time.
