I am going to look for your needles. If it will bury the knotes, I am ALL for it. Thanks for making an American product. You did the right thing, and kept it in the states. You go girl!

I have two I'll give someone for the asking. Just PM me with your address.

Ladies, the needles I offered to send to someone are going out today. Tiffany is quick on the keyboard. lol I may try them again later on down the road but right now they just aren't for me.

Thanks for the tip about removing the burrs. I was trying to figure out how I could smooth out the eye on mine. I have two sets of them and they all have this problem.

Pam, here is suggestion for a new needle style, a curved needle. That would make burying knots so much easier. I'd GLADLY purchase one of those!

I love these needles. I have a puff pillow quilt that I've been hand sewing and these needles are a god send. You don't have to waste time trying to thread the needle and they go through fabric like a dream. In fact, I had sewn so much with the first one, had to order more. The price is well justified, even from the simple price of saving time. I haven't had any problems with the thread fraying, so it probably was an odd bad needle.

I am working on making surgical needles, which are curved. Once I have those figured out, I will have curved ones for craft sewing to sell. There is a great deal of geometry and prototyping for each size and type so it may be a year yet. |
