The whole time I was pursuing these needles, I kept asking myself, “Would they really be that different from other good quality needles?” Just read your article and I’m glad you decided to try the Tulip needles!

I discovered they no longer manufacture them, and their needles are now made in China. I’ve always liked and used John James, but concerned about quality, I decided to search for a new favorite needle. Silk needles have an extra-fine tapered, sharp point and a small round eye, like a “sharp.” They are ideal for hand sewing on fine fabrics like silk, high count linen, fine cotton, and the like. The extra-fine tapered tip of the needle slides into these tightly woven fabrics very easily. I love them for stitching on silk, silk satin, cotton batiste, and high count fine linen. What About You?

Pure Linen soft washed by the yard for sewing, 100% pure linen fabric, eco-friendly washed linen-flax fabrics by meter, Ship from the U.S. I love Tulip needle for all the reasons you mentioned. One more thing, the bullion needles are totally amazing and have made a HUGE difference in doing the bullion stitch. No other needle compares!I’ve used the silicone finger gripper thingamabobs before, too – more as a thimble, because I can’t seem to get the hang of a regular thimble. When I do a whole lot of stitching for many hours every day, I inevitably get holes in my fingers that the eye of the needle will repeatedly slip into, making me jump! So the silicone gripper thingies have helped with that – they’re a lot more comfortable and easier to use for me than a regular thimble. I started using tulip needles for joining hexies in a English paper piecing project, The project required tiny stitches joining the hexies/ But first, I’ll explain why I never planned to try them. Then I’ll explain why I did try them, what went wrong, why I gave them a second chance, and finally, a more balanced perspective about them after using them for many, many hours of stitching.

I wonder how did the needles hold up with the allotted amount of hours of stitching before we are supposed to change needles? Did you find that you could stitch for longer hours before you are to change to a new needle? Did you find that it wasn’t necessary to change to a new needle even if you were to start a new project? Besides the bending of the regular needles, changing to new needles I liked them! But I didn’t know if I liked them because of that one particular size and type of needle (it was a #9 embroidery needle), or if it really was the needle itself.
