The eye is elongated, which made it a little easier for the kids to thread. The sharper the needle the better. Some of my needles aren't terribly sharp, and it was a little tough to get through two layers of felt. Hopefully that helps out. Post another question if you need any clarification.Zach Stollerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03997415498724842479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7114692124697874468.post-32408917598949683432012-10-18T19:39:44.169-04:002012-10-18T19:39:44.169-04:00Very interested to find out what kind of needle yo...Very interested to find out what kind of needle you used!

It was fairly cheap and I only went through 3-4 bags for nearly 100 students. Pillow stuffing would probably work, though.Zach Stollerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03997415498724842479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7114692124697874468.post-84832538839592868452012-07-23T17:52:36.818-04:002012-07-23T17:52:36.818-04:00What fill do you use?

If it's going to show it might as well be decorative!Ruth Byrnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00192393500411977241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7114692124697874468.post-82470991902351097602012-05-17T19:06:14.410-04:002012-05-17T19:06:14.410-04:00This is fantastic!
