I got my gold plated needles at Michaels! I didn't know that there were any benefits besides the appearance though. I prefer to use gold because they made me feel more fancy ;P

I'm glad someone posted about this.I saw some of the gold DMC needles at a nearby craft store, but I wasn't sure if they were any good.
