Even though I have new glasses, I seem to be struggling more and more to thread my embroidery needles ... so frustrating! I would love to know what embroidery needles you use which may help me. Or do you have a favourite needle threader? Thanks 😊
OOH Needles - so much choice but here goes - Bohin do good quality needles in lots of different sizes but their long sharps are good for bindings. John James do a special selection of embroidery needles and they work great for allsorts. Tulip needles have a great range of large eye needles but can be very expensive. Hope that helps. One tip though - when you go to your opticians next time take your needlework and ask them to add to your glasses prescription.
I actually have a much sooner pair of glasses that I have set very close where I hold my hand stitching . Much easier to thread needless with ...
ReplyDeleteI don't use a needle threader but quite a lot of ladies recommend a hummingbird needle threader They say it's great. Hugs,xx
ReplyDeleteGood luck... xox
ReplyDeletehmmm, my needles are pretty fine but look for some with a bigger eye... Is your light very good where you sit and sew.
