These Japanese sewing needles are easy to insert because the needles are thin, and they cause less damage to the fabric. These are old, so there may be rust, unevenness in the glass beads, and cracks, but please understand. Any obvious breaks during shipping are inspected and removed. There are several in stock, so multiple pieces are available. No price reduction. These are dead stock items, so they will be sold out when my stock runs out. Please consult with me regarding the number you want.
