can these be used to thread an ordinary ("hand") needle?

Yes absolutely, though I use mine for my serger, they will work for any needle. I just tried it on a very tiny eyed needle to make sure.

Yes. You would have to be careful to make sure you were in the threads or you could cut new threads by accident.

They are threaded. I have no idea if they would work. Not too expensive to give it a try, good luck!

Yes, I have been able to use different sizes of needles with the Bohin needle threader.

I would be hesitant to use them around needles. That would be a manufacturer questions, but I would be really surprised if they said yes.

You can get an adapter, usually I see wooden ones that the spool goes on giving a firmer grip on the machine. I would go for a bigger spool for a serger since these don't have a lot to them. Great for one or two projects per color and a lot of colors in the pack. I use them on my sewing machine without an adapter, just put it over the spool pin thread and go. They aren't high quality, so not good for projects requiring stronger thread... But good for personal and fun projects. I haven't had issues.

You can use any circular needles in place of regular needles. Just knit back and forth as you normally would and pretend the cable isn't there.

Actually yes, they do. They're not on the needles themselves but rather on the extension loops. I always wondered what those holes were for. (Other people seem to be having problems finding it, so I took a photo of one: http://i.imgur.com/hDDKnjF.png )

The needles are 5 1/2".....with 1/2" of threads. Total length is 6". Hope this helps.

I am assuming you mean sergers, and the answer is no. Sergers need a special heavier thread. I did find these threads to be of quality and I love the colors but you need a different kind, do a search for serger thread.

It would, however I do not recommend this needle. I purchased tow, and literally both needles went bad in my first two times of using them.... Could be a fluke, but I will never chance it again...

They are designed for use with embroidery machines. But I have used on my sewing machine too.

Hi. It depends on the fabric you are using not the sewing machine. Maybe this can help you. http://www.singerco.com/sewing-resources/machine-needles http://www.sewitworks.com/needle-guide/fabric-needle-thread/

Yes, but you can also look for 30 gauge, which is a smaller needle and maybe doesn't hurt as much.

No. It is designed for fine needles. Anything else will jam ... And you will not be happy. !!

Define "fine". They are the same thread spacing as the male ends - they can be daisy chained into each other. I don't know if there is a "standard plumbing thread", but it fits the bill for what I would consider standard hose threads. I used these on a washing machine and on an outdoor hose.
