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. 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.

One more thing, the bullion needles are totally amazing and have made a HUGE difference in doing the bullion stitch. No other needle compares!

Our needles are made through a process consisting of over 30 steps, using traditional needle-making techniques that have been handed down through generations of skilled Tulip needle craftsmen, each of whom has an almost stubborn obsession with quality. 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.

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’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!Mary, I love your newsletter – it’s the first thing I read in the morning! Thanks for all your effort. 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. Ideal to use with our Eleganza #5 Perle Cotton, Razzle, Dazzle + any other comparable 8 - 5wt threads. I don’t want to say absolutely that the current state of relief in my beloved phalanges stems from the use of these needles, but it seems to make sense that at least some of the relief is due to the fact that it doesn’t require as much effort to stitch when I’m using them.

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. Gold Head Pins: 21 Gauge, Choose Size 1 inch, 1.5 inch, 2 inch, 2.5 inch, 3 inch, Professional Designer Quality, Ships from USA! 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. 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.
