Needle Ease – The Hassle-Free Way to Change Needles
Changing embroidery needles can be tricky and time-consuming – but with Needle Ease, the process becomes much easier and more precise. This patented tool ensures that every needle is perfectly aligned before installation. Thanks to a built-in click mechanism, you’ll know instantly when the needle is in the correct position—eliminating guesswork and frustration.
Regular needle changes are essential for smooth embroidery and uninterrupted workflow. Needles should be replaced frequently, especially when using specialty threads or after extended use. Since an embroidery needle has an average lifespan of just 8 hours, using Needle Ease helps prevent thread breaks and machine downtime.
Crafted from brushed stainless steel, this durable tool is designed for round shank industrial needles and is a must-have for any embroidery workshop.
Make needle changes effortless – with Needle Ease!
How to Use Needle Ease:
Hold Needle Ease with the "NEEDLEASE.COM" logo and the black set screw facing up. With one hand, pull back the coloured collar. Using your other hand, insert the new needle into the slot at the tip of the tool.
Slowly release the collar and gently rotate the needle until you hear or feel a distinct "click". This confirms that the needle is correctly positioned and ready for installation. You can now insert the needle into your embroidery machine with confidence.
To remove Needle Ease, simply pull back the collar again and slide the tool off the needle.
📌 Please note: The pull-back collar may come in different colours.
💡 Pro tip for easy handling:Apply slight pressure with your thumb on the needle shank while rotating it—this helps it lock into place smoothly.
