from United States on 08/15/2025 - Best needles for cross stitch
These are the best needles for cross stitching. They go through the Aida cloth easily. They are sharp. Recommend highly.

from United States on 08/06/2025 - john james needles
great product like them

from United States on 07/19/2025 - Great Needles!
I really enjoy these needles. They are easy to Thread and, since I always prefer using 16 count fabric, this size needle is perfect!

from United States on 07/11/2025 - Needles
These are my favorite needles. Easy to thread and slide through the fabric very well.

from United States on 05/17/2025 - My favorite needle
I’ve tried many needles in my 40 years of stitching. John James are my favorite, strong and consistent with a good eye.

from United States on 11/11/2024 - good cross stitch needles
good seller, item as described, speedy delivery

from United States on 08/25/2024 - I always add needles
to every order! Love these!

from United States on 08/04/2024 - Needles
I’ve ordered these a few times. Very satisfied.

from United States on 02/28/2024 - Love these needles!!!
This is the only brand I use.

from United States on 02/28/2024 - Excellent Needles!
These are excellent tapestry needles! They are ever so slightly longer and heavier than other brands of the same size, which makes them easier to work with over extended periods of time. I highly recommend them!

from United States on 01/25/2024 - Consistent
Consistent, every needle is the same. Other needle brands you may have one or two out of the package that are good. In John James all of the needls are good, the eye does not shread the thread. The needle runs thru the fabric smoothly. The needle doesn't bend. Reasonable price.

from Canada on 08/09/2023 - Very good
first time trying these needles and I must say that they are nice to work with.

from United States on 06/30/2023 - John James are my favorite needles
This is and will always be my go to needles of choice. Thank you 123Stitch for stocking great products!

from United States on 02/15/2023 - john James needles. 28 & 26
I like the larger eye on both sizes that I bought. As a general rule I buy DMC needles (that is all that is available to me in my area) they tend to bend easy..bending at the eye and breaking the eye and a few have rough eyes and sheed the floss...I have had none of these problems with the John James needles...so far so good D.

from United States on 02/08/2023 - John James needles
I like these needles. The eye is larger than dmc needles. The shape of the needles is more consistent. The point on the #26 is sharper. I’m not crazy about that. Overall I like the needles.

from United States on 02/02/2023 - Best needles!
I've tried other needles, but I keep coming back to John James. Very consistent.

from United States on 11/08/2022
Wonderful to stitch with ! Smooth and sturdy!

from United States on 07/29/2022 - Make such a difference
I would not have believed how much easier stitching is with these before I tried them.

from United States on 03/06/2022 - Great merchandise, fast delivery.
These John James needles are of excellent quality and I only stitch with them!

from Canada on 06/10/2021

from Malaysia on 05/20/2021 - Smooth and friendly to my finger
Before trying out John James, I have used two other brands of tapestry needles but recently those needles were hurting my finger when I pin-stitched my work. I decided to try out John James and immediately felt the difference. Totally game changer!

from United States on 02/27/2021 - John James Needles
Trying size 26 needles. These are very nice. Not too long. Very smooth through the fabric.

from United States on 01/28/2021 - Very good!
Good quality needles.

from United States on 12/06/2019

from United States on 10/11/2019 - Terrific Needles
I'm a long-time JJ fan, usually using the 28 Platinums. These 26 uncoated needles didn't disappoint, in any way. They glide smoothly through fabric and are easy to thread.

from United States on 09/24/2018 - It is what I wanted - John James size 26 tapestry needles
I did get what I ordered and I am pleased. I chose these needle based on the review of others as I have used other brand needles and just not been satisfied. I do like this size as much of my work in done on 28 count fabrics.

from United States on 09/22/2018 - My favorite needle
These needles are smooth, they are not too bendy, and they are just the right size for stitching on many different fabrics.

from United States on 04/07/2018

from United States on 01/20/2018 - The Very Best Needles
John James Needles are the best !! Smooth shafted with a smooth eye and long lasting.

from United States on 09/30/2017 - Exactly what I ordered.

from United States on 07/06/2017 - John James Needles
I really like these needles. They don't bend easy, even with tugging. Will but them again.

from United States on 05/18/2016 - Strength, a Large Slit and Sharpness
I love the John James needles. You get all the above which I was not getting from other popular vendors. I will be using this company from now on.

from United States on 04/01/2016 - This works for me
I wanted a needle head large enough to handle 3 to 5 strands of floss and I wanted a sharp point. I got both in these.

from United States on 04/17/2015

from United States on 04/10/2015

from United States on 10/29/2014
I don't know much about needles because it's my first time purchasing cross stitch supplies but I find it perfect for cross stitching on 14 count Aida.

from United States on 11/25/2013 - Best brand of tapestry needles
These are my favorite "go to" needles for counted cross stitch. I use the size 26 on 32 count linen and they're perfect.

from United States on 09/13/2013 - John James 26 Tapestry Needles
These are the best for cross-stitch. The 24's are a little too thick so I prefer something that glides through any Aida cloth without difficulty, especially 16 and 18 count Aida.Thank you. Later on I'm going to try the gold needles to see how they work also.

from United States on 09/06/2013 - John James Tapestry Needles Size 26
I find the 25 tapestry needle is better than the 24 when it comes to anything about 14 count Aida cloth. The 24 is way too wide and has a tendency to spread the holes wider if a mistake is made.
