C.S. Osborne No. 417 12-Inch Tufting Needle

When to choose it
The No. 417 carries a clasp through the upholstery and releases it inside the piece. Choose this mechanism when you need to anchor a button and cannot easily reach the back to tie it. Osborne gives the standard 417 an overall length of 12 inches and lists an 18-inch 417-L separately.
Check the depth to the point where the clasp will be released. If you already own the clasps, confirm they match the 417 system. If you need to buy both, compare an exact bundle and check that its included count is documented for that offer.

Questions about this product
How does the button thread stay anchored?
The tool carries and ejects the clasp inside the upholstery. Tension on the thread seats the clasp.
When should I compare the 417-L?
Compare its 18-inch length when the 12-inch model does not give enough room to reach the anchoring point.
What if I can tie the thread from behind?
A long straight hand needle can carry the thread through when you can reach the back. Compare its length and eye with your thread.
