Tulip Big Eye Bullion Needles-Size Regular (2) & Long (2)

Product Information

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. I then bought at “back to school” time a semi-flexible plastic box made to carry 3″x5″ cards in for study or when giving a speech. 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. I just started doing english paper piecing (working my first project) The needles did bend badly for me. Now, what to do with the endless supply of every kind of needle in the world that I’ve inherited from my mom?

I found the Tulip needles at a Quilt Show and purchased the Sashiko tube Absolutely loved them I have used Bohin for my needlework for years but did splurge and got the Embroidery combination I tend to only use them at home.

When you’re doing surface embroidery as opposed to counted work, the needle must pierce the linen threads.

Eye-wise, they equate more to a sharp (small round eye), but that tip is something extra, it’s nice!The History of Hiroshima Needle production stretches back over 300 years, to when the ruling Asano Clan of Hiroshima Domain spread the practice as piecework for low-ranking samurai to support themselves.

Re the Tulip Hiroshima needles, a friend brought me back a tube of tapestry needles from Japan recently and although I haven’t yet used them for canvas work, I have found them superb when doing applique and using wool felt. Je les ai tout de suite adoptées et malgré leur prix je n’en veux pas d’autres car outre le confort qu’elles apportent à la brodeuse elles durent longtemps. I am not able to find anything but muslin in my area and find the weave somewhat dense making it difficult to penetrate. As strange as this sounds, I’ve experienced a noticeable increase in pleasure in stitching when I use them. So we carry the beading needles, as well as some sizes of Tapestry, Embroidery, Milliners and Sashiko needles.This cookie is installed by Google Universal Analytics to throttle the request rate to limit the collection of data on high traffic sites.
