Frequently Asked Questions: Beading Needles

What needles are best for beading?

The best beading needles have long, flexible eyes and fine tips. Our large-eye curved beading needles are specifically designed for bead work, with a unique curved shape that makes picking up beads from flat surfaces much easier. The flexible design allows them to navigate through tight spaces in multiple-pass techniques.

Can I use sewing needle for beading?

While possible in some cases, regular sewing needles aren't ideal for beading. Beading needles have specially designed eyes and flexibility that standard sewing needles lack. Our beading needles are much thinner while maintaining strength, allowing them to pass through even the smallest bead holes multiple times without damaging threads.

How do you thread a beading needle easily?

To thread our curved beading needles easily, flatten your thread end between your fingers, then insert it through the long eye. Alternatively, fold your thread over the needle and slide it into the eye. The extra-long eye in our beading needles makes threading significantly easier than with standard needles.

What is the best needle to use for beading?

The best needle depends on your specific beading project. For general bead stringing, our large-eye curved needles are ideal. They're thin enough for small beads yet strong enough for repeated use. The curved design makes picking up beads from surfaces much easier, and the flexible shaft works well for tight spaces in complex patterns.
