I tried one at the Lancaster show this past weekend. I found them quite thick as well. My question was how long before they are dull? I will stick with my regular self-threading needles. Do they cut the thread sometimes? Yes. Do I have to rethread a little bit more than I like? Yes. But the holes left behind are tiny and I don't feel anything when they go into the discard bottle.
