Assorted Specialty Hand-Sewing Needles (7 Piece)

I bought these needles to hand sew a homemade heating pad for my 90 year old mother. I bought her two commercial microwavable heating pads but she blew them both up. A little too long in the microwave and those commercial heating pads swell and pop. What a mess! So I did a little research. I bought a five pound bag of rice, a set of eight 100% cotton 12" x 12" facecloths, 100% cotton thread, and this needle set. I sewed two sides of 3 facecloths closed into 6" wide, 6" long pockets. I filled each of the the pockets with rice then sewed the last side shut. I cut a piece of a 100% cotton towel into an exterior pocket, like a small pillow case, then sewed it closed to hold all three rice filled pouches and VOILAH! a better than commercial heating pad that can't explode and should last for decades, hopefully. Mom loves it! She uses it as a bed warmer just before bedtime to take the chill off her bed in the wintertime.

These are the needles I use for hand sewing. I like them they are strong, they have good size, sturdiness, I don’t use the ones with the curve often but when I do they hold up well, the case is not something I continue using, but it is still good for when I receive them. I need big needles for hand sewing because of my arthritis, hand sewing is hard enough as it is. But trust me and don’t get the tiny needles, especially if you are just starting out. Long time sewers don’t even use those. We get the big needles like this and make it easy on our selves. Strangely the big needles make precision easier, threading the needles, getting in more stitches at once, big needles are where it’s at. If you’re just starting out or have been sewing for a while these are a good go to.

This is a great purchase to have good quality different sizes of sewing needles. I love this for a thicker thread. I’m a hand sewer so these are great for me.

BUT, I LOVE THE SEMI, -CIRCLE! Great for upholstery mending %26 other difficult to reach %26. sew items/fabrics. I use on car seats where seems break open. Great needle set. I recommend.

I used the needles to stitch upholstery in a truck. The fabric is very thick and I had to use needle nose pliers to get the needle through it. The needle held up where others might have broken.

The selection is perfect for virtually any sewing project around the house. They range for use for light to heavy materials, using most threads for common tasks. They're easy and comfortable to use whether repairing or completing a new piece.

These needles are perfect for me. I can thread these a lot easier than the smaller needles I have. The specialty needles allow me to items I usually wouldn't be able to. Great price too.

I need a case for these. These needles are great for medium to heavier work. I did not try these with leather work. But they worked well with the nylon bag with webbing strips. Sharp, strong, no bending,easy to thread, great price.

The eye on the smallest needle was fragile, broke when package was being opened, so now it’s used for getting slivers out of fingers. but overall worth buying the package. The rest still function as sewing needles

I never received the needles. I remember the name of person filling my order, but they didn't pick the needles at all plus gave me the wrong pencil I wanted. I was looking for eyebrow pencil in black/brown and got lip lining pencil in chocolate which was more like maroon.
