I am going to look for your needles. If it will bury the knotes, I am ALL for it. Thanks for making an American product. You did the right thing, and kept it in the states. You go girl!

I have two I'll give someone for the asking. Just PM me with your address.

Joan, if you are unhappy with my product, why didn't you contact me? The only way for me to improve it is if I know someone has a problem. Send them to me and I will glady refund or exhcange them. My address is on the website.

No, I was responding to NiceNCLady who said she had trouble with my needles shredding. Hobby Lobby is the only store that carries them. You can order on line from me or Nancy's Notions or Herrschners.

Thanks for the tip about removing the burrs. I was trying to figure out how I could smooth out the eye on mine. I have two sets of them and they all have this problem.

Pam, here is suggestion for a new needle style, a curved needle. That would make burying knots so much easier. I'd GLADLY purchase one of those!

I love these needles. I have a puff pillow quilt that I've been hand sewing and these needles are a god send. You don't have to waste time trying to thread the needle and they go through fabric like a dream. In fact, I had sewn so much with the first one, had to order more. The price is well justified, even from the simple price of saving time. I haven't had any problems with the thread fraying, so it probably was an odd bad needle.

If you or anyone has a problem with my needles please contact me at www.spiraleyeneedles.com.

I am working on making surgical needles, which are curved. Once I have those figured out, I will have curved ones for craft sewing to sell. There is a great deal of geometry and prototyping for each size and type so it may be a year yet.
