I don't really see any difference...if you are in asia, probably you can get the gold ones from amazon, there's a japanese brand called clover and they have all kinds of gold needles and all others cross stitch stuff

Hi all,

I started this thread a while ago, so now that I have actually used gold plated needles I thought I would post an update.

Got them in Amazon (believe it or not, couldn't find any in Oxfordshire!) and they are John James'.

I was rather skeptical was I thought I would go for them as I had never bought proper good quality needles. As it turns out, I love them!! I find they go through the fabric much easier, and they are a pleasure to stitch with - I find I stitch faster.

This is only my opinion, I know many people don't find any difference at all, but I thought I'd share it anyway. I like them a lot.

xx

I've tried all and haven't noticed a difference. It's interesting that some people think gold plated make it go through easier. I might just have to give it another go.
