Featured Tool: Black Gold Needles – Appliqué Sharps by Clover

What is this tool typically used for?

General hand sewing.

How do you use them?

I use the Black Gold Needles for binding and when I am doing hand sewing. They’re great!

What do you like best about the Black Gold Needles?

I really like these needles for hand sewing and especially for binding. They are thin and glide through the fabric nicely. They also don’t bend as easily as some of the other needles I have used. Package 21201 has two needles of each size: 9, 10, and 12. It’s a great way to try them out and see what size works best–it’s usually dependent on the fabric you are sewing on and personal preference. The special black plating on the surface allows the needle to pierce effortlessly through fabric, enabling sewing with little resistance.

What did you like the least?

They are a little harder to see if you drop one.

Why do you NEED them?

Because we all need lots of needles.

    These are my favorite needles by far! I too have used them for years. They glide smoothly through fabric and are just the right size. They thread well by hand or with the Clover Desk Needle Threader. The needles rarely bend or break even after extended use – I do use them extensively! I have made hundreds of Yo-Yos, done lots of EPP, binding, and hand-piecing…and the needles work well for all of it and last a long time. I highly recommend them!
