Perma-lok; you thin the end of round lace then screw it into the end of the needle. It can be used for flat lace as well

But  flat lace is best used with this type; the Lok-eye;

or this version;

I lace with these, even with flat lace (those wallets were done with this).  Size 'regular' works with 3/32" or 1/8" lace.

I HATE those "2-prong" needles.

I took 1 spool of this Craftsman Lace 1/8" x 25 yd. (3 mm x 22.9 m) while I took 3 types of needles:

1193-01 - Perma Lok Needle

Lok-Eye Needle (Hook-n-Eye) 10/pk
2-Prong Lacing Needle 10/pk
 

I hope this will be OK.

I think you'll NOT like the flat needles.  But honestly, it might be good to go on and try them, so even if you DON"T like 'em at least you'll KNOW for yourself.

What's so wrong with them?

PS: What's Tandy's shipping time to arrive within US? (Miami, Florida)

 

PS2:

I instead put this lace into cart - this is genuine leather, as previous from the link was faux. Took black and brown, can't wait to start working with them :)

(I hope I choose the right leather lace for lacing tho :) )
