Sewing Needle No. 18

At last I found time to sew the curtains! Because of my busy schedule this was one of my pending works. For sewing thick fabrics like curtains sewing needle no. 18 should be used in sewing machine. I took out my needle box and searched for that needle. To my surprise I couldn’t read the number written on the sewing needle with my naked eyes.

Can you read the number written on sewing needle with your naked eyes or no?

  1. I used to but then I had lasik surgery a few months ago and now struggle with small type. It was one of the major drawbacks I didn't consider prior to surgery!

  3. I find it hard to thread a needle even with my glasses. At one time, I wondered why grannies had a problem. Now I know!

  4. I was using no.16 needle for stitching a lot, but never thought of checking if the no. is written on the needle! Just bought no.16 needles from the shop!

  5. I have no idea, I never use a sewing machine. But even with glasses my eyes are so bad that I can not read small print, so I have to take them glasses off and hold the paper in front of my nose.
