A needle sounds harmless. However, that needle makes a difference during your stitching projects. Guided by your hand, a needle is an indispensable tool that will allow you to achieve your goal to reach perfection. Bohin has maintained this level of perfection in their workshops since 1833 because they know that a breaking or twisting needle that doesn't slide and cuts your thread will be a waste of your time and will ultimately damage your creativity. At BOHIN, they place great emphasis on all their products to make sure they provide you with the best ease of use.
