lacing needles?

[electrathon]

When I lace I personally do not like the look of oversized round holes that many people use (like the ones on the Tandy kits). I like the holes to be undersized and only use slits. The look is a cleaner, tighter one. I use lok-eye needles. They are easy to attach the lace to, rarely ever come off and easily go through tight holes. In order to even use a perma-lok needle I would have to use larger holes and they are way harder to push through the slit. If I was using round lace, I would use round needles, but for flat lace, lok-eye needles are great. I hate 2 pronged needles, they come off way easier then loc-eye.
