I am extremely annoyed that I snapped my favourite sewing needle! It was just thick enough to take a doubled up cotton thread or two strands of cotton embroidery floss, and basting thread was easy to thread into it... But it was also slim, sharp and long enough to get a proper grip and straight stitch going. And I don't seem to have any other sewing needle in my about three dozen that would have all these qualities. What utter shit!
