Milward Snag Repair Needle

This snag repair needle by Milward is a very handy tool for getting rid of loose thread ends in clothing. This accessory is especially useful for fluffy or frayed thread ends, which you can no longer thread through a normal needle eye. The needle has no eye, but a rough ribbed end. Insert the needle with the ball point through the fabric, next to the loose thread you want to cover. Then you turn the needle around, leaving the thread hanging on the other raw end. Now you can pull the thread in, and the snag is gone. Finally, by lightly pulling the fabric in different directions, the remaining hole will close.
