Newbie Alert...?
I was just sewing my wicks onto my new Elder Flame fire fans and broke my needle in half. What do I do? Can I use a larger sewing needle?
Sorry- seems like a dumb question. Thanks for any help!

Hey Lisa, sorry to hear that :-( but yup no problem at all as you can use any sewing needle with a suitable sized eye where the Kevlar thread passes through etc We use a curved needle here at HOP as it normally makes it a tad easier but a straight needle can be used also if thats all you have...... Normally local craft shops etc will sell the curved variety if needed.
Hope the new fans are enjoyed
Happy spinning
