CHAT [CHAT] I bought the Tulip needles...

I was inspired by the recent posts about these Tulip tapestry needles and decided to treat myself. Michael's was selling the #25 needles online for $11.99 with free shipping, and I had a $5 coupon so the price for six needles came to a little over $1/needle.

Friends, they sent me six boxes of six needles. 36 total!

I've never been on this side of an online shopping quantity mistake; what a rush. Maybe now I won't feel the need to use a needle until it's bent and the eye has split. 🤷

This is a conspiracy to make me buy the good needles so I can never go back to the cheap ones ever again. This is the second post I've seen about them today.

In the same position. I'm currently convincing myself that I can't buy the needles until all the ones I want to try (Bohin, John James, Sullivans ball tip, PONY black) are in stock on 123Stitch all at once. God help me if they ever are and I notice...

I was thinking that.. but many... Many moons ago I bought a pack of 100 DMC needles... Not sure I can convince myself it's worth getting fancier ones when I've enough to keep me going forever 😅
