There are the spiral eye needles too, many like these better, they thread easy and stay threaded better too. :D:D:D

This is not a new idea by any means.. we used them in the operating room more than 40 years ago where they were called "French eye needles".. didn't like them then.. don't like them now. they can be hard on the thread also.. make it fray.
