Mary, Thanks for your review on Tulip Needles. That was a very costly research project. 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 Pure Silver (Ag) Wire; 12, 18, 24, 28, 32 & 38-ga (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 1, 2mm); purer than 'sterling' silverHello Mary, thank you so much for your fantastic review of the Tulip needles – and mentioning our little shop down here in Cornwall! We hope to be an inclusive company and strive to create an environment that is welcoming and embraces diversity, both with our online presence, the makers we represent, our physical pop-ups events and our collaborations. Tulip needles normally come in a clear plastic tube with a small cork in it. The tube is labeled, and it is situated in a very nice little folded box held closed by a tiny length of red silk. The tubes are held in place inside the box by a card insert and the whole presentation is quite classy. When you’re doing surface embroidery as opposed to counted work, the needle must pierce the linen threads. It doesn’t pass between them. It pierces right into them. And when two layers of fabric are stretched taut on a frame, the linen surface becomes somewhat hard, making it a little more difficult to pierce with the needle. So, it depends on the linen / cotton you use. If it has a weave that is “open” where your needle can slip into the weave, then that’s great. If you have to pierce through the weave of the fabric, then it’s kind of hard to do that with a tapestry needle – the needle would slip into the hole of the weave before it will pierce the fabric. This is why the tapestry needle is great for counted work, because it doesn’t pierce the fabric. It helps keep the placement of the stitches very precise.

It’s not surprising to me that the Japanese needles are superior. About 20 years ago, I donated every pin I had and bought 4 boxes of Japanese pins. No more snagged silk! I still have 1 box unopened.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.

So, that’s something to consider, if you have hand fatigue when you stitch. It could be the effort required by the needle, if the tip isn’t as sharp as it could be and isn’t breaking into the fabric with ease. But how could I say, objectively, I like this needle better or It’s not worth spending that kind of money on needles, if I didn’t actually try the needle? Tulip needles have a flexibility to them that makes them comfortable to hold, but not flimsy or noticeably bendable. They remain rigid, but they “give” a little as you stitch with them. Based in the Hiroshima region, an area famous for making needles, we at Tulip have a history of making the needles that our customers rely on. Since our founding, we have primarily manufactured sewing needles, crochet hooks and knitting needles. Our needle sets made for the home economics classes of elementary schools compromise the top share in Japan, and Tulip brand crochet hooks have been exported to more than 40 countries globally for many years. Bullion Knot needles are long and straight with a large but narrow eye which allows the thread to easily and smoothly pull through the stitch.I’ll also explain a big problem that they solved for me. If you have the same problem, they might go a long way towards solving it for you, too! Tulip Chenille Needles - Sharp needle point and long needle eye are perfect for not only wool and wool felt embroidery but also ribbon embroidery. 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. Tulip embroidery needles have Very Sharp Tips. The needle passes into and through the fabric with very little resistance. Apparently, this has to do not only with the sharpness of the tip, but also with the way in which the needles are processed and polished. Most needles are polished around the shaft. Hiroshima needles are polished down the length of the needle.

It reduces friction significantly and I might have given up on a project I was working on without it. It was an unusual application, a large very detailed printed needlework canvas (Penelope10/20) that I stitched 20 count with 1 strand Paternayan. The paint of the printing clogged half the small holes. There is a fine line between being determined and madness. But I finished it, pre poking the holes and stitching using a chenille needle, periodically dipping the needles in Thread Heaven. Sterling Silver Ball Head Pins 21, 22, 24, 26 and 28 gauge 1, 2, 3, 4 Inches - Our Personal Favorites - Also Antique Silver Last year I realized that I had a LOT of needles and not only am I not sure of the sizes of them, they were all different types of needles mixed together. Is still use that method on occasion when I have a spot where it’s hard to get a needle in or through. After poking the needle in the box it goes through trouble spots much more willingly. I get my needles from this shop. If you are in the SF bay area, she is in Alameda and does several quilt shows throughout the year. She also offers classes.I love Tulip needles. There is also a large eye version! Recently I have found on John James needles the finishing inside the eye is not always smooth and my silk thread will snag. I blame it on moving their machines and finishing to China.
