Tapestry Petite sewing needles are part of the Tapestry / Cross Stitch needle family.
These sewing needles have a large eye and a blunt round point. However, they are shorter in length than the ordinary tapestry needle, allowing for quicker stitching, nimbleness and accurate finishing.
What Other Stitchers Are Saying (100% of reviews are from verified purchases)
from United States on 11/04/2021 - Needles A great quality needle to stitch with. This is my favorite needles especially the petite ones.
from United States on 10/07/2021 - not what I wanted These needles are the correct length, however, the tip is so blunt it catches on my fabric. I have been trying to find a petite 28 with a sharper point to no avail
from United States on 09/08/2021 - All-time favorite My favorite cross stitch needles…I most enjoy the short length for playing Thread Chicken. 🤗
from United States on 12/22/2020 - Favorite needle I like that these needles are shorter. I can stitch closer to the end of my threads. They are easy to thread also.
from United States on 12/14/2020 - Disappointed I've bought these needles for years but these two packs I purchased were terrible. They kept breaking at the eye. I've gone through about 8 of them in three weeks. Disappointed as these are usually great needles that last a long time.
from United States on 12/03/2020 Was disappointed with the needles. Found the eye to be rough which caused the thread to fray and not very strong. I know this as nothing to do with you, but perhaps you can pass this on to John James. Which needles have the best ratings?
from United States on 03/22/2020 Love the petite needles.
from United States on 01/26/2020 - John James Petite needles Wonderful needles
from United States on 12/30/2019 - Anchor Floss And John James Petite Neefles 28Loving the Loving the fact I can purchase Anchor Floss and DMC Floss along with The Gentle Arts at the same time. Great experience loving all with my Long Dog Sampler Game of Swannes. Coming to a close-FFO. Thank-You Sherrie Roberts

from United States on 11/30/2019 Bought hoping to find a good replacement for the discontinued Perfect platinum needle. This works great and Im very pleased to have found it
from United States on 02/26/2019 - Not the Best These needles were a little disappointing. Although they have a slightly narrower eye than Mary Arden petites, they don't slide through fabric quite as smoothly. If you like JJ needles, it's worth it to spend a little more for Gold or Platinum.
from United States on 02/06/2019 - Fanastic little needles These are fantastic little needles, but I seem to break them off at the eye quite easily. But that could be me using too much force when trying to anchor my stitches. I will continue to buy them because I do enjoy the smaller size, even if I am a bit rough on them.
from United States on 12/16/2018 - Disappointing Great size to work with , however they are not well madeThe eye is rough tears thread, and bends easilyThis is not their best product
from United States on 10/08/2018 - John James Needles I love these needles. Won't use anything else
from United States on 07/13/2018 - John James Needles Love these needles! They don't 'fray' your threads like other brands. I love how tiny they are too... I haven't tried beading with them yet, but I'm sure they will work. Very happy!
from United States on 06/24/2018 - John James Needles I love these needles. They are the perfect size for me
from United States on 03/05/2018 - John James needles I love these needles. I won't use anything else
from United States on 02/08/2018 - John James Tapestry Petites I love these needles. They are the perfect length. I purchased size 28. Despite the small eyes, they are easily threaded.
from United States on 01/08/2018 - John James Tapestry Needles Love these
from United States on 10/20/2017 - Love the Petite tapestry needles Great for working on linen fabric!
from United States on 09/01/2017 - Awesome I love these shorter needles. This is my favorite size needle to work with. I usually work on 32, 36 and 40 count fabrics.
from United States on 08/18/2017 - Needles These are my favorite.
from United States on 08/02/2017 - Perfect Needle! Found the very best needle for me! A pleasure & a joy to use.
from United States on 06/23/2017 - Love the Petite needles Love these needles! Allows you to use more of your thread since you can easily work with shorter strands. Only needles I use now.
from United States on 05/23/2017 - Nice I love stitching with the petite!
from United States on 05/11/2017 - Best I've Used Love these petite needles. I find them so much easier to use than the typical longer version. Would order from 123Stitch again.
from United States on 04/28/2017 - Best needles ever.......... I've used these needles for many of 35 years that I have been doing counted cross stitch....I use them for all counts of fabric.Couldn't stitch without them............
from United States on 02/16/2017 - john james petite needles I love these needles. Would not use any others. Ruthie rbeickertyahoo.com
from United States on 12/30/2016 - Petite Needles I have used nothing but these since they first came on market years ago!Give me any others & they feel like a sword they turn bla CV k within a couple days of stitching. TRY THEM!!!!!!
from United States on 10/22/2016 Love them !
from United States on 09/22/2016 - John James 28 Petites I have cross stitched for over 35 years and these are the best needles I have ever used..........Royce Etchason.......Flora, Illinois
from United States on 06/06/2016 - My 1 choice for cross stitch These petite needles are AWESOME. I have tendinitis and arthritis in my hands and have no difficulty... in fact these are easier on my hands than a large bulky needle. No thread waste, you can stitch clear to the end of your floss, and, the eye holds your thread so the needle doesn't slip off. It's the only needle I use!
from United States on 05/04/2016 - Petit Needles Love the needles...............makes it easier to finish a rowof stitches without running out of floss.
from United States on 02/03/2016 - Petite needles I really like using them, but find them a bit fragile for what I am working on. It is 25 ct Laguna. Two strands over every thread. This makes for very tight work and when there is a couple of colors in one spot, things get a bit tough. I have bent a number, but will continue to use them because I like the short lenght
from United States on 01/19/2016 - My go to needle I love these needles. They have a decent size eye to ease threading floss. The shorter length works very well when securing floss tails and when the floss length is shorter.
from United States on 12/21/2015 - terrific little needle Half way through working a cross stitch pattern and got these in the mail. Tiny compared to what I was using so it took a few stitches for my fingers to adjust to the tiny size of the needle. Wow! Love these needles and the stitches look more neat and when ending a thread you can get under those stitches on the back much more easier.
from United States on 09/19/2015 - Great short needle I love the size of this needle, and the eye isn't small for two threads. Works much better for cross stitching than the longer needles, you get more use of your threads.
from United States on 08/08/2015 - needles..John James Petites Best needles ever. Love them
from United States on 07/10/2015 - Best Needles Ever Made I love these little needles so much. I got to where I couldnt find them in my area and thought they had stopped making them until I found them again here and believe me I am stocking up on them as I never want to run out of these again. They are perfect for stitching even with the nerve damage and numbness in my fingers I still prefer these to any needle I have ever used.
from United States on 04/27/2015 - Cross Stitch Needles I have used the John James Petite needles before and love them. I find it easier to end a color when using them because you can stitch until you have a shorter piece of floss on the needle. Hope this makes sense.
from United States on 04/14/2015 - Best Needles Ever I am so in love with these needles, if I didnt have these to stitch with I dont know what I would do. I cannot use the standard needles after using these. I like the 28s and the 26s
from United States on 02/21/2014 This is my favorite needle..................
from United States on 02/21/2014 This is my favorite needle..................
from United States on 01/14/2014 - Petite Needles I love these needles because of the short length and especially because the eye of the needle is small and my thread does not slip out while stitching. I'm very impressed with the service provided by 123stitch.com. I received my order very timely...much faster than any other provider of cross stitch materials, and the shipping and handling was very reasonable. I've ordered from them twice and received the same excellent service both times.
from United States on 12/24/2013 - No more orts! I love this needle. I've been stitching for many years and nothing is more frustrating than getting down to 2 or 3 stitches and having to re-thread. This needle ends that frustration! They are the only needles left in my sewing kit.
