I wish I could get a picture. The holes were all odd shaped - according to my magnifying glass. A good needle should have sort of a rectangle shaped hole and it should be nice and even on the sides and corners. Some had burrs. Some needles were a bit twisted. Some had lousy grooves. It was almost as if we bought the daily rejects from the factory or they were having a really bad day. They would shred or break the thread. After that we are testing at least one out of each pack but it only takes a few seconds to see that they are odd - look at one you know is good.
