How to Thread a Spiral Eye Needle

Thread a Spiral Eye Needle in a spiral motion.

Just imagine drawing the letter Z.

  1. Hold the needle horizontally.
  2. Make sure the opening of the eye slot is toward the ceiling.
  3. Make a loop of thread, put it over the center part of the needle
  4. Holding the loop snuggly against the needle, slide loop toward the eye.
  5. Stop when you feel the thread find the slot opening.
  6. Pull thread in a downward angle into the slot
  7. And then move the thread into the actual eye of the needle

Notice in the video you can actually hear the thread snap and lock into the eye.

Pam Turner making needles

Meet The Needle Lady!

Hi. I’m Pam Turner, inventor of the side threading needle. I invented it because I wanted to be able to just sew on a button, but I couldn’t get a piece of limp thread into a hole I could no longer see.

Since I could not find anyone that could/would make my needle, I had to hand make them one at a time. I would put a piece of wire into the end of a Dremel and press it against a slow wet grinder. With the wire spinning in the opposing direction of the stone wheel I could create a multi angled point.

Those grooves in the hard-stone grinding wheel were made from the thousands and thousands of wires I hand pointed. But the point was the easy part. Making the eye…well that is another story.
