Pre-threaded/easy-thread needle
What are pre-threaded or easy-thread needles?
Easy threading or pre-threaded needles help you enjoy sewing by reducing the hassle of threading needles yourself.
Most brands are pre-threaded or make it easier for you to do so. Place the cotton thread across the small V shape at the top of the needle and pull it down to slot the thread into the eye of the needle so that you are ready to sew.
These needles are great if you have low vision or find it hard to thread a needle due to tremors or lack of ability in your fingers.
