Elastic threading needles

myminifactory

These are some innovative threading needles I designed specifically for my wife's dressmaking needs to simplify the process of threading elastic. Just click the print button on the needle you prefer, adjust the hole size as needed by making it a tad smaller than the elastic, and then feed the elastic through it just like in the picture or use your own preferred method - I used some yarn since I didn't have any elastic handy at the time. If the size isn't quite right for your needs, simply scale it up or down horizontally rather than vertically to get the desired dimensions. It's truly amazing how a 3D printer can come in so handy and make tasks like this one a whole lot easier.
