Jean Lyle hand needles for applique, quilting and piecing

Jean Lyle English hand needlesWhat 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 which can be threaded without embarrassing yourself with bad words. Jean Lyle fine English needles fulfill all these needs. Each wooden case contains 10 needles.

So we all need a little help! The eye is longer and larger than the standard quilting needle. This is good for less than perfect eyesight. It is also good for quilting with threads which won't go through the eye of a normal sized quilting needle.

Jean Lyle #11 straw/milliners needles

Jean Lyle #11 straw needles - 10 needles in case
Wonderful for appliqué and hand piecing. I tend to use these for practically everything because I love them so much. They are very thin and eventually bend so you may prefer to use the appliqué needles as they are sturdier.
