Eyed needles are the type of needles that have a pointy end on one end and an eye or hole through the needle at the other end. However, the size of the eye varies quite a lot. Some quite small needles have large eye holes in comparison to their size. The large-eyed needles are used to thread the ribbon. While the beading needles are often with quite small holes.

The seldom-known facts about the needles may help you to use the needles much easier and with little effort.

One fact is that for the eye-needles, there is a right side and a wrong side. If threading a needle through the wrong side, it can be very difficult, while if through the right side, it will certainly much easier. The right side is the side more beveled around the hole.

Another secret is that if you bring the needle to the thread. It is much easier than trying to line up the end of the thread with your needle eye. Try the tips out by the following steps.

1. Hold the thread between the thumb and forefinger of your non-dominant hand with the end visible.

2. Bring the right side of the needle down on top of it.

3. Push down between the thumb and forefinger.
