The Easy Guide Ball-Tip Needle® was created with cross-stitchers and hand embroidery enthusiasts in mind. Each needle features a special, mini ball at the tip that helps to navigate through Aida and other linens effortlessly. The ball end easily “finds” the right spot in your fabric, ending the unintentional splitting of fibers while you stitch. The result will be more even and consistent stitches throughout your design. Therefore you can spend more time stitching! These needles will help guide every hand stitch you make. Great for counted cross-stitch and other types of hand embroidery too. Once you try an Easy Guide Needle, you will fall in love with it!

I love these needles – so easy to work with especially on higher thread counts, my only wish is that they come with more in a package as I often have multiple projects going – price is a little steep but worth it to me, I just don’t like all the packaging I’m wasting buying at 2 at a time –

I wish I had known about these needles years ago. They are, quite simply, the holy grail for stitching with Aida fabrics. Once you try them, you will find it difficult to go back to an ordinary needle.

I ordered (from a vendor) the ball needles you have. I had my husband give them to me for Christmas. I love (it) them. I have been using them for backstitching my project and it gives me a precise location coming up from the back of the fabric. Well done!
