google John James Twin Pointed Stab Stitch Needles.
the thing to remember is that having the eye in the middle makes the needles very fragile. make sure you don't hold the needle by the eye.
there are instructions on the back of the packages. it really pays to follow those instructions. they're pricey, but i recommend you buy at least one extra pack for practice.
don't ask how i came to that conclusion. :lol:
