Sometimes it is not easy to guide thread into the eye of a needle. The Quick Threading Needle makes life easier here. This needle has a small slot on the side of the eye, which allows the thread to slide easily into the eye. To do this, slide the loop of thread along the right side of the needle until it slides through the slot into the eye. This means that the sewing machine is ready to use quickly for minor changes or repairs, such as such as shortening trousers or sewing a ripped seam.

The slightly rounded point ensures that many materials can be handled carefully without any problems and without being damaged. Do not use the Quick Threading Needle when working with fine, thin fabrics such as silk, as it can get caught in the slot and sustain damage as a result.

Suitable fabrics
• Cotton
• Bedding (woven fabric)
• Corduroy
• Gabardine
• Jeans
• Twill
• Linen
• Nettle fabric

Tips
• Use the Quick Threading Needle as an alternative when your sewing machine does not have a needle threader
• Make threading far easier with the Quick Threading Needle
• Not for use with thin, fine materials or sensitive fabrics (e.g., silk, microfibre, etc.) because the slot might create pulled threads
• Do not for quilting as the fibres of the wadding/batting might be pulled out
• Not recommended for use with Denim as the structure of the needle eye is too weak
• Thanks to their flat shanks, the Quick Threading Needles can be used on most household sewing machines (Bernina, Brother, Janome, Juki, Pfaff, Singer, etc.). Not suitable for sewing machines with an oscillating hook (CB hook) as the thread can slide out of the slot due to the unique movement pattern of this type of hook!
