Clover Gold Eye Embroidery Needles Size 3-9 - 16 Pack

Maybe, Im just heavy handed. These needles are great but I have had a few bend and break on me. Not enough to not make me order than next time but still.

I needed a larger needle to hand quilt using DMC perle cotton 8. These needles are great. Easy to thread and very smooth. I’m using the largest size, which I believe is a 3. Nice needles.

I have always felt that Clover sewing and quilting tools from Japan were the highest quality. So when I needed more needles for my redwork embroidery and my Big Stitch hand quilting, I chose Clovers Gold-Eye Embroidery Needles in the sizes 3-9 package. The gold on the eye makes the needle easier to see to pick it up and to thread it. The shape and size of the eye also enhances the threading. It is perfect for the often larger threads used in Big Stitch quilting. I have used size 8 perle cotton threads, 10wt. crochet threads, 12 wt. Sulky threads, 30wt. cotton threads, all with relative ease in these needles. The package comes with multiple sizes so you can choose which one your thread requires. The interior of the eye is well polished so that the thread does not shred while using the needle. And I cant remember ever bending a Clover embroidery needle as I worked. As a quilting teacher, I recommend these Clover Embroidery needles to all my embroidery/Big Stitch hand quilting students.

Was not sure if this would work on fabrics to tie on labels and these are sharp enough to do that but they are not my go to needles for this purpose. Found hand quilting needles from various vendors that accomplish that.

Easy on the eyes for threading makes constant re-threading for stitching much more pleasant.

Just what I needed for my needlework

This is a great needle. I love the Gold Eye needles for hand embroidery and cross stitch. The quality is very good, and Ive never had a problem with any of the Gold Eye needles. I would recommend these to any crafter who uses threads to embellish or create.

Easy to thread, sharpness of needles, assortment of sizes

At my age I need needles that are easy to thread. I can thread these with a loop making my sewing much easier. The cost is very reasonable and I have reordered these because of my satisfaction.
