Very small eye
The eye is very small. I like a longer needle (I have large hands) but not a fatter needle to use for quilt binding and ordered these. I cannot thread these with regular sewing thread without a needle threader and it's so tight the wire pulls away from/breaks the threader. I ordered the "new" style threader with a "hook" that's stiff wire but that won't go into the eye. I can normally thread a needle without a threader.
