I've had a pack of these for a few years, and understood they were created for people whose eyesight makes it difficult to thread a needle, but never heard of the 'spiral' term before.

I have used both cotton and polyester threads, with no problem ... IF I do it "right".
Like I said ... I discovered it was an operator error!!!!!!!!

One way, and sure enough it breaks. The other ... goes right into place.
