I prefer the "Spiral Needle" It is more expensive but for me is worth the time it takes to keep rethreading.
The slot for threading is on the side and not the top so your thread can't come out of the top threading version.
Have to agree.
I've tried the kind that you have to poke the thread through a "notch" in the top of the needle and it can shred the thread, and will sometimes break it. I got the Sprial Eye needles and LOVE them. Yes, pricier ... but well worth it.
