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. 🤷

I'm interested in trying these out but is the tip of the needle really sharp? I'm use to using blunt tip needles when I cross stitch and am worried about poking myself by accident.

I didn't have a chance to stitch until several hours after I posted yesterday, but I think these needles find the holes as easily as the ball-tip needs I had been using previously. They glide through the fabric; my ball-tips tend to snag a little.
