I ordered from the member here, and have to say I am so disappointed. They are either not sharp, have an invisible burr, or are thicker than expected. I don't even use mine now.

Forgot to say I bought several different ones from her, too.

Same here - for burying threads only - not sharp enough for the hand sewing I do.

I have the "H" needles and I, like others, use them for popping the top threads through to the back and then bury them in the batting after quilting. I did have to get used to "working" them so that I wasn't cutting the threads.

I use them all the time for burying threads. Without them I probably would just cut (not bury), which isn't so good :-(

Works for me.

I am VERY disappointed in them. The are too thick to be useful, they are not sharp enough, and - most important to me, when you are trying to bury threads, the fabric can get caught up in the slit for the thread. I feel hoodwinked. I ordered them, they were very expensive. The order included a "free" sewing kit was a piece of cheap junk.

Otherwise I am very satisfied. :hunf:

How I thread my needles

Holding the thread in my left hand, I cut a blunt end.
I pull the thread back down between my thumb and forefinger so that I can just barely see a dot of thread.
I set the eye of the needle on the dot and slightly press down.
I then roll/pulling my finger and thumb UP, pulling the thread along with it.
Works every time.

I have them but have not tried them yet.

I wrote to Pam who invented the spiral eye needles about my needle that was cutting the thread. She asked me to return it, which I did and she replaced it with another. This one works GREAT!!!! She is a gracious lady and a good business woman!
