Hand needles for quilting,sewing and embroidery
If you want to be sure of having a good variety of needles at hand then Wendy Schoen Designs have two needle portfolios available.
Special double eyed needles are used for embroidery, corded trapunto also requires unique needles.
What do you look for in a hand quilting needle? Not too sharp a point so it doesn't push through the fabric and batting quickly, pricking the supporting finger beneath. A strong shank so that it can take the stressful pushing and pulling without snapping. A eye that can be threaded without embarrassing yourself with bad words. Jean Lyle fine English needles fulfill all these needs. Each wooden case contains 10 needles.
If you want an idea of how the Jean Lyle needles compare with each other size-wise go to the comparison chart.
