Can I use these with yarn(DK, worsted) like darning needles? I am looking for darning needles that have a sharp point.

To answer your question I measured the eye of the largest needle and find that vertically it measures less than 3/8" of an inch and width-wise less than 1/8". I bought these needles for embroider with regular embroidery floss and I don't believe you could use the largest one of these needles for worsted. I hope this answers your question.

The tips are about as pointed as most bamboo needles I have seen in the store. Less pointed that most metal knitting needles I have used.

Yes, you can cut the tip any size. So I would think no tip would work great!! I just found them a bit small for what I was doing.

The tips are pointy enough to knit two together and do similar stitches, but not too pointy for pushing the tips with your fingers. I think they are just right. I love these needles and use them everyday!

Very sharp and stay sharp! Yes they can be sharpened using standard method for sharpening or take to a sharpener. How often will depend on usage. When I reviewed these knives they were rated very high. I hope this helps with your decision to buy.

Yes, you can. I have different brands I use. So far, no problems. I just have to work on my technique. Getting better each time.

They would fit, but these are NOT embroidery needles. You need those for your machine, since you can't sew with yours, only embroidery. You also want to use sharps, never ballpoint to embroider, since you are going through the stabilizer. Ball point would not punch through the stablizer, only push. Brother installs Organ needles in the machine when it ships, and those are what is in the needle kit with your machine. I hope this makes sense to you.

I could not use them. The needle is to big to fit into my cartridge. I may try to find a smaller needle....

I'm sure they can be sharpened by someone who knows what they are doing, but that being said... If these are used for cutting clothes off and not things like tin , metal, or otherwise they should not really dull ever. They are extremely sharp!

Not at all. I'ts braided wire and there are caps at the end so no sharp points. I wouldn't let them chew on them though!

these needles are desined for use with a flex type pen that is preloaded with insulin. they are not for drawing insulin up out of a vile !!! amazon will most likely exchange them for you!!!

Yes. Well cut and tapered, they fly well. I use them with a longbow and a recurve. I like the points as well, although they could be a bit sharper for my taste. I honed the edges a bit extra and they are perfect now, or at least to my liking!

They work very well. I stupidly used them to cut a hook from a lure and ruined them. Just use them for braid and they will work great

I'm sure you could do this, but they are sharp on the ends (pointed) so it would be a lot of work to shorten them and leave a pointed end.

I second that. There are no needles to go with these. Maybe something like this would be better3 ml Syringes with Blunt Tip Fill Needles, 100 pack

That's a good idea! However, I have no experience with needles. I would assume it'd work because the magnet is pretty strong but then again the needles may be too small to have any force to the magnet.

I love mine and should be fine for threads and I used mine for clipping yarn at a woolen mill. Just use them for that said threads and they will stay scrap for that use......
