Perhaps you should look into getting a thimble? Just a thought.

huh, the sharp needles are for quilting!!, and the blunt ones for cross stitch. i would suggest you swop these, or you will hurt your fingertips badly each time you stitch.

I prefer blunt needles, as long as I dont need a pointed one for an specific type of stitching

I usually use the blunt ones except when I am working on aida cloth and there are quarter stitches to do. Then I use the sharp ones.

I also use the blunt one, but for the fraction stitches I used the sharp one..

I only would suggest blunt needles for crossstitch, sharp needles for quilting and sewing.

I would never use sharps for cross stitch, especially when using wool, it splits the threads too much
