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

DAMN these things are SHARP! I have caught my finger on the needle and even drew blood. I'm impressed! It's really made my embroidery projects look nicer and cleaner.

I do a lot of sewing. Clover is the only reliable needle I’ve used In terms of quality control.Now these needles get a lot of wear and tear from me and I’m impressed by how long they hold up for. One needle will usually last me 1-2 projects before I have to replace them.Considering these are heavy hand sewn/embroidered gowns, I think that’s a pretty good deal for the price.They RR sharpen well, but like all needles, eventually they will begin to warp. That’s when I know it’s time to put them into the needle graveyard. (Aka an old empty pill bottle)

Very nice and Broadway needles as described work well have nothing negative to say about them. I will purchase again.

I have tried many different types of embroidery needles. With embroidery needles, you are looking for a large eye to thread the thicker than normal thread easily. These have that. You are also looking for a needle that doesn't bend easily from pressure, as many stitches require intricate movement. These needles are strong and don't bend easily. The most important thing, though, is that the needle is narrow and very sharp so that it glides through fabrics easily so your hands do not become fatigued and so you don't damage the fabric. With many brands of needles to get that you give up the strength of the needle, meaning it will become bent more easily. Clover golden eye needles do not sacrifice strength for sharpness and narrowness. This is the best brand of embroidery needle that I have ever used, and I have been doing embroidery for 50 years. I highly recommend these.

I got these to start some new embroidery projects. They are nice and sharp and the eyes are large enough for a needle threader. Great quality and shipping was as expected. I would buy these again.

I recently resumed embroidery and at age 72 I found these Gold Eye Needles exactly what I needed. The eyes are big and easy to see; there are multiple sizes of needles in the pack. Just what I needed.

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 Clover's 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 can't 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.

Smooth, sharp, easy to use. I am 75 and use a lighted magnifying glass on the small stand by my chair for threading the tiny ones. I love them and will purchase Clover embroidery needles again from Amazon when I need more. (At my age I'm sure glad I don't have to run out to stores hunting good embroidery needles.)
