What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · June 8, 2026
These are size 80 sewing machine needles with a self-threading eye — a slot cut into the side of the needle eye that lets you push thread in from the side rather than poking it through the front. That small design change makes a significant difference for people whose vision, hand tremor, or reduced finger dexterity makes standard needle threading frustrating or impossible. They fit most sewing machines made in the last 15-20 years, so compatibility is rarely an issue. Sold in packs of five; size 80 is appropriate for lightweight fabrics like cotton and linen, not heavy denim or upholstery.
