pre-threaded needles
Where can I buy pre-threaded needles? at a local craft store? I think they would be very helpful to my mother.
re: pre-threaded needles
You can buy a package of pre-threaded needles at most sewing and some craft stores. Sewing stores are a better bet. Travel stores carry them, too -- they're a super-handy travel item.
