Forty some years ago I watched my mom struggle to thread a needle. "Why can't someone invent a better needle?" she sighed. I smiled and threaded the needle for her.
Then, just a few years ago, I realized I, too, couldn't get a limp piece of thread through a hole I couldn't see.
I found an open eye needle called the calyx needle (there is an opening at the top.) It was easy to thread, but the thread came out every time I used it. I tossed the needle in the trash and sighed, "Why can't someone invent a better needle?"
Forty years is long enough to wait for someone else to do something. I decided it was up to me. So I did it.
It might not seem like a life changing idea, but I believe it is going to make life a little easier for a lot of people.
