The method is for dispensing a fastener through a hallow slotted needle from fastener stock comprising several fasteners each of which has a filament(24f) with a transversely disposed end-bar at one end. End-bars of adjacent fasteners are joined end-to-end by severable connectors. The fastener is advanced to a position adjacent the rear portion of the needle bore with the end-bar transversely disposed to the needle bore. The end-bar is rotated from the transverse position about the connector joining it to the next adjacent end-bar into a position in alignment with the bore. The connector is severed and the end bar is forced through the bore.
