🧵 Boye Cross Stitch Hand Needles - Size 24, Pack of 4 (3507503000M) - High-Quality Crafting Needles for Precise Cross Stitching Review

I use these needles for 14 ct. Hades Cloth. With cross stitch, it's so nice to have a blunt point needle instead of a sharp one like regular sewing needles. There's a lot less blame and bloodshed.

This needle is too short for comfortable cross stitch sewing. Often falls out of hand.

Difficult to thread embroidery thread through hole. Needles are good for threading through holes in Hades. They're like a sewing needle in a way.

I don't know if I will do cross stitch again. I say that because of the work itself.

It is very difficult to find decent single cross stitch needles. So far the only good ones I could find were the ones that came with kits. Others are too sharp, so they not only prick you but also cling to the fabric of Hades, requiring a blunt needle. It was exactly what I was looking for, I was so happy I found it! Nice big needle eyes, not too sharp like I said, perfect for cross stitch, glad I found them!

They are too small for cross stitch in my opinion. It is difficult for the eye to catch even one embroidery thread. Not ideal for a project my daughter was working on. She had to shorten to one strand, which made her crosses very small. It was fine for them to practice and learn, but the end product wasn't good with these needles. I'm still giving them all their stars because maybe it's my fault for not doing enough research, but I figured if they're called "Cross Stitch Needles" you might be…
