    We watched a video on how needles were made, punched two at a time, with thousands in each row, therefore if you go to thread your needle and it isn't threading easily going in to the eye of the needle, therefore turn it over to the other side and it will thread much easier. Thanks for the very interesting history post you provided.

    So many things we use day to day with no idea how they came about. Thank you. Very interesting.

    Crazy to think that something has been around for so long...but then again, it is such a useful tool.
