You might not think much about needles but they are more complicated than you think. This lovely post from Lord Libidan goes into detail on why one side of your needle is easier to thread than the other.

Good article today. Thanks.
This site (below) is definitely worth exploring for an outstanding needle threader and wire inserts.
I bought a ‘needle threader’ and some extra screw-in ‘wire inserts’ from HERITAGE CRAFTS several years ago and consider it one of my best sewing aid purchases for threading my small eye #10 needles. The initial expense for the needle threader is worth the purchase as it is very well made. The quality of the wire insert is so good that I rarely have to change out the needle inserts. I was fed up with the poor quality of other cheaper needle threaders. I’d use a few times and then the wire broke and hence, need to throw away. Not with the strong needle wire insert with this product from “Heritage Crafts”.
