I guess it just got by me somehow when it was a popular notion and available in most all notion racks. I went to a quilt workshop and the lady next to me had one. I had never seen one before. She said it was years old and still working great and her favorite sewing notion. I found it online and received it today. I have it fully loaded and in my hand sewing take along kit.

That looks cool...wonder if it could go on an airplane?

I guess I could make someone scream with one but I doubt I could over power anyone with a threaded needle. I've never been told it wasn't allowed and I did hand sewing on my last plane trip.

We have some issues sometimes in NY getting on a plane with certain items :-(

I am all for security, however, sometimes it is just silly. I am 5ft 1 and 67 on Friday, but if someone tried to take over the plane with a sewing needle, knitting needle, or some similar sewing notion, even I would try to "take them down" rofl.

I never heard of that either. Looks very useful!

This item was once really popular with people who did counted cross stitch... :D

I have never seen that before. Neat idea.

Oh, I love them. I own two now for different projects. (My DGS loves to wind the thread in for me).

I don't get how it works or why you'd use it???? Help me out here ladies...

I dont either anxious to hear how it works and why you would use it

Yes, It can go on a plane. It has no blade. It is basically a plastic with ten different slots where you can stick a threaded needle. It spins to wrap the loose thread around. As said, I had one when I did cross stitch, but hated to get the needles out. It is only good for traveling so the threads don't tangle.

You pre-thread your needles and place them in this doo-hickey -- thread stays tangle free and a threaded needle is always ready :D

Like for a hand-quilter? I usually just rethread my needle as I go. I never thought about having threaded needles ready to go...

Or like if you're doing counted cross stitch, you would thread up different colors. Sometimes you only need a stitch or two before you change colors again. But, yes, it would work for hand quilters too but I also just rethread my needle...

Just saw this today at my LQS. Do you want one?

My friend likes to thread all her needles in the morning so she can enjoy a day of handquilting like this. I don't have one, but if I find my eyesight getting weaker I think it would be a smart idea. Have fun with it.

I haven't ever seen that either but it would be great in my sewing bag I take when I go visit my dad in the evenings. I want one too.

I have one of those for cross stitching. I need to give it to DD bc I can't see to cross stitch any more. When I hand quilt I thread all my needles at one time and leave them on the spool of thread. As I need them I already have one threaded.

I love mine as I mentioned before. I load up about a needle, stick it in, wind the thingy and there you go. I get about 10 needles in there. I know a guild member who sat on her pincushion and had to lie down in the back seat to get to the ER where she had to explain to about 10 people why she had at least one needle completely unexposed in you-know-where. I'd much rather sit on this thing.

I love my needle case. Have use it for several years to take in the car and to class.
Enjoy

Wow, awesome never seen it before, thanks for sharing
