In order to make a sewing needle, first the metal wire must be cut to the correct length and then bent into a shape that will work well for stitching. After the needle has been cut and shaped, the eye must be created. To do this, a pointed end of the wire is inserted into a tiny hole in a metal plate and then hammered flat. Once the eye is created, the needle is then heat treated in order to make it harder and more durable.<\/p>\n

The process of making a sewing needle begins with a thin wire of steel. This wire is then fed into a machine that straightens it out and cuts it to size.<\/p>\n

Next, the wire is heated until it is red hot and then quickly cooled. This step makes the steel more brittle and easier to work with.<\/p>\n

Next, the wire is cut to the desired length and then the point is formed. The point can be either sharp or blunt, depending on the type of needle being made.<\/p>\n
