one-second needles
#5
Buying them was my big mistake....
While I tried them only one day, I hate them. Kept thinking it was just one defective needle so I kept replacing one with another, but I was wrong. While they are easy to thread they continually catch on the fabric and the thread breaks way too often for my liking. I figured it was an expensive and frustrating lesson learned.

the lady that makes these in the US sold the rights to have them manufactured overseas. she calls hers the spiral eye needle and there is a board discussion of them here http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-137735-1.htm#3702024

I use the ones I got in Hancocks that have a slit on top of the eye and the thread pops into it. It works great for burying threads. I think Dritz makes them. I think they are called easy thread or something like that.
