I love them so much I wonder if you would mind if I used your idea, I belong to a small quilting group and would love to make them each one aspart of their Christmas present. I promise I will let them know where the idea came from.

What size wire
I love your beaded needle threaders, but I wonder what size of wire you used? I see the wire is twisted under the top bead. I have many beads stored at my winter home, can't wait to try this. Is the wire too thick for a fine needle? Big thanks to you for sharing the idea. I assume, this last longer than Wal-Mart or JoAnn's needle threaders.
