Reviews From Customers Who Purchased This Item

from United States on 09/05/2025 - different type of needle
I prefer this needle more and more. It feels more sturdy

from United States on 07/27/2025 - Favorite Needles
This is my go to whenever I’m working on linen. The smaller, the thread count of the fabric, the more vital this needle becomes.

from United States on 07/25/2025 - Highly over rated
Admittedly the needles were nice enough at first, but in less than 2 weeks the ball tips had broken off and they were sharper than your typical embroidery needles. I personally won’t get them again. I’ll use them if I have them but I didn’t find their value worth their cost. I was disappointed considering all the raving reviews I’d seen for them.

from United States on 05/12/2025 - Perfect!

from United States on 04/08/2025

from United States on 02/06/2025 - These are the only needles I use.
I love these needles, they’re strong and do not poke through threads or fabric.

from Canada on 01/08/2025 - Easy Guide Needle
The best needles ever made. I hope they will come in bigger packages(maybe 6 instead of just 2?)and the price will go down a little.

from United States on 09/17/2024 - needles for high count linen
Where have these been all my cross stitching years....I absolutely love them...they do not split the linen squares, they just glide through the fabric...I am trying to build a stash of these...5 stars in not enough...they are a 10

from United States on 09/08/2024 - Only needles I use now.
I found these ball tip needles after I had an incident with my kitten. She grabbed my needle when I stepped away from my stitching and it went into her mouth and moved down to her neck. She ended up having surgery to remove it. After that no more sharp needles for me. Not to mention not getting jabbed when stitching is a major plus.

from United States on 11/21/2023 - Pricey But Nice
These needles are rather expensive for what they are, but they’re smooth and well made. I was so excited to try them that I failed to notice they’re a size 28, which means they’re super small for cross stitching. That was my mistake though. I will use them with one strand of floss when I work on my full-coverage projects.

from United States on 10/08/2023 - My favorite needle!
I have quilted, appliqued and now back to my roots of cross stitch! I love this needle the "rounded" roller ball tip saves wear and tear on my fingers. My much older eyes now, can see to thread the size 28, yet small enough to feel good in my fingers.

from Australia on 09/24/2023
Love these. Great needles for cotton floss.I wish they made them in a smaller size for 40 count fabric, with a smaller eye for silk floss.

from United States on 09/06/2023 - Hard to thread.
This Needle is hard to thread as the eye is small but it glides thru. The point is sharper than I would have tbought. It is longer than my 28 Piecemaker so I prefer Piecemaker as I stitch in hand.

from United States on 06/11/2023
Love stitching with this needle.

from United States on 06/01/2023 - Best needle for sewing method
In order to get more done I have switched over to the sewing method of stitching and these needles are perfect for stitching on top and they are sturdy and don't bend they last forever or at least until I loose them

from Canada on 05/18/2023

from United States on 01/25/2023 - Best needle for sewing method
I had tried the sewing method several times in the past but my stitches were never good and I was constantly undoing them because I had 3 strands or 1 instead of 2 but these ball tip needles totally solved that problem its hard to describe why but that smooth ball tip just pops up in the hole and glides the needles through like "butter"! I love these needles if they came in a petite they would be the world's most perfect cross-stitch needles

from United States on 09/13/2022 - These needles are a game changer
The ball tip on these needle makes them glide through the fabric. They don't split the fabric. They slide right into the holes. They are a little pricey for needles but they are well worth the cost.

from Canada on 08/24/2022 - Loved it for my fine detailed project!
Loved it. Worth it on very small squares…. Or high thread count to be technical…. BUT, this needle breaks super easy. That part was frustrating. Still ordered more for The next time I have a super small squares.

from United States on 07/13/2022
Love these needles.

from United States on 05/30/2022 - The Best Needles!
I love these needles! They have sped up my stitching so much.

from United States on 05/18/2022 - Love these needles
These needles are great - they feel “firm” in my hand and I find that they last longer than other brands I’ve used. I love these for fabric up to 35 count. For fabric with a higher count, I feel that they’re not quite as precise as a smaller needle. Happy with my purchase!

from United States on 04/15/2022 - I normally use John James Petites...and still do...but
These needles are fabulous. The definitely deliver what they promise!

from United States on 04/11/2022
I love these needles. No more splitting the threads.

from United States on 11/03/2021 - Aida stitchers will love them
The ball point finds and slips through the center of loaded holes beautifully every time. I also love the easy to thread slightly rounded eye. I’ve stocked up on #28. I love using them on perforated paper with 3 strands too. You won’t mind the cost once you’ve tried them.

from United States on 03/11/2021 - There is a noticeable difference
I bought size 28 needles to see if they are helpful on 40 ct linen instead of the normal size 28 needles I use. Answer is Yes. I found a significant difference with the small holes between the linen threads, I could actually feel the tip go into the hole. I plan to use them on all linens with a tight weave. Also, the metal feels stronger than the 28 petite John James brand that I prefer stitching with.

from United States on 01/28/2021 - best cross stitch needle ever
I've tried lots of different kinds of cross stitch needles, but these are by far the best ones I've ever used.

from United States on 12/05/2020 - Very Best Needle
Easy Glide Needles are the very best. I won't use any other needles for cross stitch.

from United States on 08/31/2020 - Pricey but worth it!
I hesitated for sometime before finally adding these needles to my order. I mean, $7.49 won't break the bank but that's a lot for 2 needles. But I went ahead and I'm really happy I did. Its almost like they glide through the hole. Love them! Plan on ordering in sizes 24 and 26 also. AND..123's price is over $3 less than Amazon! Can't beat that!

from United States on 08/06/2020 - 🤐
Nothing to do with 123. Not please with needles, as plating began rubbing off after a week. Otherwise, I would have really liked them.

from United States on 03/13/2020 - Worth the Price
I bought these needles because I was graduating myself from stitching on Aida to Linen and Evenweave. Perfect for those fabrics, like someone else said the ball seems to find the hole on it's own. I don't feel it's stretching it out. I don't have any trouble anchoring the tails under stitches on the back. Highly recommend and I'm tough to impress.

from United States on 02/19/2020 - Surprisingly helpful
I needed to grid a piece of fabric for a large complex cross stitch and these needles are a great help in doing that. I originally got them to cross stitch with, but haven't tried them out for that yet.

from United States on 12/22/2019 - Can't wait to start!
I will be starting my Christmas presents for next year as soon as I can. These needles will make my cross stitch so much easier!

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 12/22/2019 - Interesting needle
These ball tipped needles do nudge themselves nicely between the threads, even on 40 count, but they are very hard to anchor in the stitches on the back of the work. If you dont mind changing needles for that, they are very smooth.

from United States on 12/19/2019 - Ball Point Needle
I love the ball point needles. They are a very smooth when entering the fabric. They last forever.
