Review on PAKO Needle Organizer 2 1 2 Inch by Carrie Spencer

Revainrating 3 out of 5

To be true?

Product well made, but maybe not for everyone. I am an avid cross stitch embroiderer and work on intensive projects that take years to complete. I like working with mixed threads. I support anything that can speed up the project. However, I have learned quite a bit after purchasing this item and the large needles which are a logical complement to the needle holder. First, buying needles in bulk means you're likely to end up with second-rate needles. Although I bought the same brand I usually use for my projects they were very bad with broken eyes and eyes that weren't properly polished and so the filament snapped very easily. It will be expensive to buy quality needles to thread 50 needles for the holder. Secondly, the squares depicting needles are small, the threads easily get tangled if you are careless, so finding the right sign is sometimes difficult. If you are not careful, the other needle may come off when you pick up the correct needle. The project I'm working on now has over 100 symbols and I'm including the symbols that I use the most in the project. However, the colors are very similar on the 50 I Sliced. I wonder if I might have had better results with the holder had I had a more colorful project with easily distinguishable colors. I'm back to my old way of doing things, but when I'm working on a colorful project I try the holder again. And I will definitely buy good needles, although it will be quite expensive.

Pros
  • Crafts and sewing
Cons
  • Little things
