Mary, I love your newsletter – it’s the first thing I read in the morning! Thanks for all your effort. These are the perfect needles and fun to stitch with making beautiful bullion and French knots. The long, straight smooth body is longer than regular needles which makes wrapping your threads around the needle oh so easy. 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.

The fabric is not the most important consideration. It really depends on the thread you’re using, first. A heavier wool thread will require a larger needle with a larger eye (a crewel needle has a medium-long eye, and would usually work well for most embroidery). THN-102e & THN-103e - Needle straight from its body to its large needle eye is perfect for Sashiko stitching.

Too much flexibility would be a bad thing – it would make it hard to stitch with. But when you hold a needle and move it around and work it under other threads, it’s a good thing if it has just a little give to it. If a needle is too rigid, it’s uncomfortable to use.

I’ve received requests from readers to review Tulip needles, but the Prudent Side of Me always told me, “Don’t spend that much money on needles.” 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! Thank you, Mary, for your great review. I hadn’t been using Tulip needles for embroidery much because I discovered them through bead weaving. I found that I can permanently bend Tulip beading needles almost as easily as other brands, so don’t think those are worth the cost for me.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. There were so many posts on thread conditioner already that I didn’t want to chime in. You mentioning the smooth shaft of the Tulip needles and it’s benefits makes me reconsider. I don’t use Thread Heaven on threads, I’ve used it on the neeedle! Just read your article and I’m glad you decided to try the Tulip needles! Very recently my supply of John James Platinum embroidery needles needed replenished, but I couldn’t find them anywhere. 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. The whole time I was pursuing these needles, I kept asking myself, “Would they really be that different from other good quality needles?” But I won’t give up my Bohin needles, either, or my John James. They’re decent needles. But there is something about the Tulip needles that makes for a different stitching experience, and I like them! Tulip Silk Needles

I can’t tell you how many of my needles develop permanent bends from long hours of use. The two Tulip needles I’ve been using consistently for hours and hours of stitching haven’t bent, but they do have enough of a comfortable give in them to keep them pleasant for stitching. A Problem Solved 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. 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?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. If you’ve already done that, your item hasn’t arrived, or it’s not as described, you can report that to Etsy by opening a case.

We’ve been carrying Tulip needles for about 4 years and love them. I’m a beader in my personal life so for bead weaving and I need a sturdy needle. Once I used a Tulip I won’t use anything else for beading. With Tulip needles and their very sharp tips and ultra-smooth shafts, the resistance on entering the fabric is not noticeable. They slip effortlessly into the fabric, right where you want them, on the first attempt.

Over the following several weeks – and some 120+ hours of stitching – I used Tulip needles all the time. Hello Mary, thank you so much for your fantastic review of the Tulip needles – and mentioning our little shop down here in Cornwall!
