Glover's Needles

Post by mosher »

For the stitchers who haven't found out the wonders of a glover's needle, in the words of Johnny Suderman, "My stitching leveled up when I got my glover's needle!"

Glover's needles are 3 sided, triangular tipped needles that are sharp as a blade. They are meant to stitch thin leathers and used for taxidermy. They slice through facile so effortlessly that you no longer have to work up painful blisters to push your needle through.

We've noticed that as of late, people seem to be having trouble finding said glover's needles. Peng and I are now selling them on www.kingstonfootbag.com for all those interested in obtaining some.

I got my first glover's needle from Sorbet the maker of Footfighters in Poland. I was amazed right away by it! It makes it so you have to think about the pressing part less and so you can concentrate more on your placement and make choicer bags!

Try them out! 8)

Is it the set of three for $1, or just one for that price?

I'm just waiting for Gluefoot filler v2.0 to be sold separately from the bag, if it ever is. I just don't know if I should buy some needles and pay the extra $1 for shipping. :P :lol: Yes, I'm a cheap and frugal sonamabitch.

is it legal to resell these products? The better question is how much will it cost to be bailed out of jail after I get arrested and jailed for business misconduct? :lol:

just got my glover's needles, and I just did my first pent with it. WOW!! it flies right through the facile. Whereas with the round tip needles, you had to push the whole thing through, you just have to poke with the tip, and that's it, the needle just goes through easy... this is going to reduce effort big time... Big recommendation from me!!!
BRICK!
