Needlepoint Woes Resolved
An encore to the Big Eye Needle is this neat idea called the Easy Needle. Unlike the Big Eye, which had an expanding loop eye, the Easy Needle has a minor slit in the eye to allow the thread to slide in comfortably. I know many use magnifying glasses to thread the needle, but if Easy Needle doesn’t interfere with the quality of my stitch, I’d be willing to give it a try.

this is stolen from an old lady that was on the BBC national news a few weeks ago, unless they can prove they didn’t copy it and it is a very very big coincidence!?

It was Backwards engineered. Nothing wrong with that XD

I have some needles that work like this. The thread goes in at the end of the needle though.
I find that the thread can pull itself out of the end on these needles, so this design does look like an improvement.

I find it very a serendipity since i also have done very simialr concept but much simpler and which works.

That’s pretty clever, although the needle looks a bit big. Work on it!
