Reviews From Customers Who Purchased This Item

from United States on 09/05/2025 - Great for my older eyes
Great needle. Helps me locate the hole better than regular needles. Would recommend to any stitcher but especially to those with lower visual acuity.

from United States on 08/25/2025
was recommend by website. The more I use these needles, the more I like them. They have a sturdiness that other needles don't have

from United States on 08/15/2025 - Easy Guide Ball Tip Needles
Sullivans Easy Guide Ball-Tip Needles are wonderful! These are what I use for my counted cross stitch projects, I find stitching is much easier with the ball-tip. This is what I will use from now on.

from United States on 05/12/2025 - Just what I’ve been looking for!
I wasn’t sure about these needles until I saw the YouTube video on needles. She mentioned they were her favorite. I can see why. The big eye is a bonus with the ball point!

from Australia on 05/06/2025 - My favourite needles
They took a little to get use to but these are now my favourite needles.

from Lithuania on 04/15/2025 - Wow!
These are wonderful needles.These needles are great for higher count Aida. I keep thinking the ball might break, but it's holding on tight!

from United States on 03/30/2025
I love these needles!

from United States on 02/11/2025 - Needs bigger ball head
The ball head was still very pointed so it catches on the Aida. Needs either a rounded needle with ball or bigger ball on top.

from United States on 02/05/2025 - Love These Needles
Having the ball point helps me keep my stitches even and consistent.

from United States on 07/28/2024 - Easy Glide Needles
The needles are nice. Like the tip. But the eye is very small.

from United States on 07/24/2024 - Easy Guide Needle Size 26
This needle is unbelievable. It is so easy to use for stitching on aida or linen - it finds the holes and prevents the splitting of threads. However, I don’t recommend it for frogging (ripping out). Use your smooth needle for that unless you are using a ripper.

from United States on 07/24/2024 - Favorite needle
I absolutely love these needles ! They make Stitching so much more fun !

from United States on 01/16/2024 - Good product
Well satisfied. Finds the target hole easily.

from United States on 09/24/2023 - Easy To Use
These needles are great for higher count Aida. The ball tip keeps the fabric from splitting and the eye is wide enough that threading the needle is quick and simple.

from United States on 08/22/2023 - Excellent stitching needle
I love these needles. The ball tip guides the needle through the hole without splitting any threads on the canvas/linen. These needles come in three sizes to accommodate for different count fabrics. Very sturdy as well. I stitch in hand and have yet to bend or break one. I highly recommend these!

from United States on 05/24/2023 - Love These Needles
My stitching is so much more even and consistent with these ball-tip needles. Well worth the price!

from United States on 12/30/2022 - Loving the “ball tip” needles!
I love these needles! The only ones I care to use. I stitch in hand, sewing method, and I feel like these needles speed up my stitching and I like being able to feel the changes in the fabric as you transition through the stitches!

from United States on 08/15/2022
The price makes you search the couch when you drop one, but they are invaluable needles for neat and tidy stitching. Glad I discovered them!

from United States on 06/27/2022 - A Real Necessity
Since I found these needles I can't stitch without them. They are especially invaluable for projects where the stitches are close and tight together. Well worth the price!

from United States on 04/10/2022 - Easy Guide Ball -tip needles
Great for cross stitch, does not split threads, only needle I will use.

from United States on 11/17/2021 - Smooooth
I love these needles, I’m working on a piece where the stitches are very tight and the little ball at the end of the needle helps it glide right in, saves work on my hands. Best design for a needle.

from Mexico on 09/29/2021

from Canada on 09/18/2021 - Easy
Love these needles, little pricey but worth it.

from United States on 08/05/2021 - Needles

from United States on 02/16/2021 - A Joy to Use!
I was curious about these needles and wanted to try them. They performed beautifully and would love to add more to my supply, but they are way too expensive. I will just have to be content with the two I have. Good product, but not worth the price.

from United States on 01/28/2021 - It is a true Easy Guide
I started these needle when I was using Aida 14 count...it was such an ease to use them that I started using Aida 16 count fabric...And haven't switch fabric since...And stocked up on my inventory of 24 Easy Guide needles... Thank you 123 Stitch for carrying them...Peace and Love in Stitching...

from United States on 08/06/2020 - BEST needles ever
Can't say enough good things about these needles. More than others but worth it.

from United States on 08/06/2020 - BEST needles ever
Can't say enough good things about these needles. More than others but worth it.

from United States on 08/03/2020 - Makes Stitching Smoother
I've used these needles for about two years, and the ball at the ball at the tip makes these needles easier to stitch with. The biggest challenge with the needles is to find a needle threader that will accomplish the threading process with the tiny eyes the needles have. They are a bit pricey, but well worth the cost for the results they produce.

from United States on 07/29/2020 - Highly Recommended
Best needles ever, I don't like using anything else, I'll have to get more!

from United States on 07/13/2020 - BEST NEEDLES EVER!
These are wonderful needles. My stitching goes much faster and smoother!

from United States on 06/29/2020 - Ballpoint Needle’s size 26
I love these needles . They make it easier to find the holes in the fabric so smoothly

from United States on 03/23/2020 - Great finger tip saver needles!
I love, love, love these needles and the size #26 is much more petite.

from United States on 03/19/2020 - Easy needles to use for Cross Stitch
These needles are very easy to use...I will buy more!

from United States on 03/15/2020 - Sullivan’s Easy glide needles
I love this needle because of the small ball at the point. Makes stitching much easier on linens for me HOWEVER, after using it now for awhile, there are little flecks of silver from the needle on my fabric. It’s not a lot but the needle itself could be of a better quality so this doesn’t happen.

from United States on 03/13/2020 - Best needles ever!
So glad I discovered these needles. The tiny ball on the tip makes stitching a breeze. It enables you to gently glide the needle on the wrong side of the fabric to find your spot! Especially helpful on linen.

from United States on 03/03/2020 - Ball point Needles
I love these needles!

from United States on 02/27/2020 - Eye of the storm
These needles glide so smoothly they are wonderful to use. The ball end is perfectly sized so that the needle does not make holes bigger than the shaft but---the eye is way too small. It is a huge frustration to try to thread with the multiple threads we use in cross-stitch.

from United States on 02/12/2020 - Why have I not tried these sooner
I have never used a needle as easy as the Easy guide ball tip needle. Where have these been all my stitching life. It makes work so much more enjoyable. I will be buying more.

from United States on 01/31/2020 - The best needles ever
I totally love these Easy Guide Needles. They make stitching so much easier for me. No pricking my fingers or snagging the fabric. Seems like a smoother stitch. I’ve ordered several and sent to my friends. They love them . I do too!

from United States on 12/27/2019 - Easy Glide Needles
Great needles. Easily glides thru fabric and lasts longer than other needles.

from United States on 12/25/2019 - Easy Guide Ball-Tip Needle
I like these. I tend to 'split' threads when stitching on aida and these needles really do help eliminate that. I do agree with the poster who said they were pricey.....hopefully the one package I purchased will last me for awhile. If you stitch on aida very much I would recommend them.

from United States on 12/22/2019 - Fabulous needles
Pricey, but absolutely terrific needles for stitching on linen. Enters the holes cleanly and easily. I also have noticed that I never have sore finger tips when using them. I'm addicted to these needles.

from United States on 12/19/2019 - Perform as advertised, but overly long and highly priced
First used some of these on Aida cloth and found them minimally better than tapestry needles - and more thread-wasteful and for me less comfortable to work with than the JJ petites I favor. That said, Im now using one on an Aida cloth piece that is quite stiff and on which the holes are only semi-open. I started with a tapestry needle and was finding it very frustrating. Then the lightbulb came on and I pulled out the easy-guide needles ... what a difference!! I only wish they made them in petite. Due to cost, theyd never be my go-to needles even then, but if you use Aida, theyre a good tool to have in your arsenal.

from United States on 08/18/2019 - Definitely worth the purchase price
I bought these needles to help me cross stitch on dark aida fabric. The ball tip definitely helps to find and insert the needle in the fabric hole.The shaft of the needle is thinner, and longer, the eye is smaller than other size 26 tapestry needles. The eye is the same width as the shaft.The needle is very smooth going through the fabric. The small extra length made the needle easier to hold. I didn't have a problem finishing off threads on the back.Would recommend these needles.
