Danny: Fiquei surpresa com as agulhas curvas, pois nunca tinha visto antes. Comprei para uso doméstico e estão me atendendo mais do que bem. Nesse kit tem agulhas de diferentes tamanhos, espessuras e tipos. Gostei da compra e recomendo.

HD: I needed a curved needle to fix a pull in my headboard upholstery. The kit was inexpensive and came with a ton of other needle sizes for future projects. Everyone should have this kit on hand just in case.

Salty London: Great value. I used to use a normal needle to repair sofa and I ended up stubbing myself a lot because of the tricky angles you had to work with furniture.

I used the curved needle to repair rips on a sofa and it worked very well.

LCLC: These were ordered for use in repairing the leather on a car seat. However, while the curved needles would work well, it ended up that our seat required professional repair. These will be a good set of needles to have on hand.

Note that not all of the needles have a sharp, narrowed point. These needles are assorted so pay close attention to the pictures to ensure that they will suit your purposes. I've provided some close-up pictures of the needles.

I really hope you find this review was helpful to you!!

Markus Gutschke: I needed to fix a poorly accessible seam on my couch. The good news is, these day it is easy to get very detailed instructions on both how to do this work yourself, and on which tools to buy. The bad news is that there are still some surprising challenges (see below).

To be on the safe side, I bought an assortment of needles. For my application, the curved needles were the most appropriate tool. And I found there isn't really much of a difference in the  brands that I tried . So, buy whatever is cheapest; they are all very similar. I also discovered that these needles are a lot more brittle than normal sewing needles. When working with leather, you often push the needle through the existing holes in the leather and you then use  locking pliers  to pull the needle through all the way. I discovered the hard way, that even the slightest off-angle pulling can break the needle. So, my strong advice is to order multiple sets of needles! It'll save a lot of stress.

Also, for a proper saddle stitch, you'll need to use two needles at all times. So, you should order at least three or four sets of needles to have enough. A good description on how to do saddle...

Mark Grant: The needles I bought are for heavy duty use - using waxed linen cord. After using one for about an hour it broke and I wasn't rough with them. In fact I was sewing leather together and had pre-drilled the holes in the leather. I am not saying it's a bad product, but I might suggest buying more than what you think you will need - if you indeed have a need for these.
