[Nfb-krafters-korner] beading needles for Fireline

[River Woman]

I am using them now...but oh my gosh, you get stabbed so often because there 
is a sharp end at both ends of the needle so it is really hard to use this 
kind of needle for encrusted bead work since you go through layers of beads 
and Laceys Stiff Stuff continuously. Hard to use on this, but since I had no 
other needle here, I did use it to finish up the beading I was working on.
