No I just ordered some of the needles and have yet to try them, but it looks really easy to use and to thread; you just slide the thread up the shaft of the needle to where it goes into the slot and it is threaded. Couldn't be simpler. Wish I had through of that. Might have made me a millionnaire! ha,ha

Threading was always hard for these dear ladies. We, with the younger eyes, threaded for them.

So today I was thinking about this thread & I wondered if everyone (except me) can quilt in any direction?

I can quilt right to left, up and down but I just can't quilt left to right.

I use a rocking motion in a hoop, and it works fine. Just keep your fabric very, very loose in the hoop, not tight like embroidery.

I am a rocker, with or without a hoop. I can quilt in any direction because I quilt with other ladies in a large floor frame and we all quilt what is in front of us! So I learned how to do "my part" and keep up with them!
