For almost all kinds of sewing I like quilting betweens. Size 9 is most comfortable, but sometimes for hand piecing I use a smaller size). I use Sharps for things like hemming.
I like a size 10 quilting between. It’s small enough to go through many layers easily, but long enough to stack a few stitches. I don’t have a favorite brand, I buy whatever I can find. I lose them too quickly and too often to care who makes them.
Whatever is in my hand dandy pincushion.
I just pick one out that looks like it will get the job done.
Lovely quilts but I have voted for my favourite, so hope I’m lucky
I use a 10 between for quilting. I don’t have a favorite–I buy whatever brand is available in that size.
I have not tried hand quilting and use applique needles for my bindings and such.
I use the quilting betweens – no special brand

Dritz seems to be the brand that I buy most often. Since I jump from quilting to smocking to tapestry I have a pin cushion full of needles all sizes and shapes. I just grab what looks comfortable for whatever project is at hand.
I don’t have a favorite brand, I just buy quilting needles and use whatever’s in the package. I loose them allot!
I like the size 9 needle because it’s easier for me to use when hand quilting since it’s larger. I don’t do enough hand quilting to use a smaller sized needle….wish I had more time to perfect that skill.
Que color bello es el verde!
Tengo muchas agujas de muchas marcas.
Esas telas verdes de Vicki … me da una envidia verde de quien las gane.
I usually use a size 11 between for quilting; nowadays that requires a needle threader!
John James as recommended by David Taylor!!
I use whatever needle looks like it will work with what project I am doing at the time, they are all quilting needles. Thanks for the giveaway. vickise at gmail dot com
I have so many needles but I like sharps best for almost everything. Don’t know the brand name – James from the UK?
I use the size I think will get done what I need.
I use John James needles for all my needlework.
I haven’t ventured into much hand quilting yet so I’m not sure………..but it’s on my to do list!
I am not a big handwork person but I have tons of needles. I like betweens usually 9 or 10s.
I hand quilt with John James Quilting Needles, usually. I prefer to use a size 12, even though they sometimes break when I am going through a particularly thick seam. Thanks for the chance to win!
I use a quilting between, whatever looks about the right size, no particular brand!
For hand quilting I like John James Quilting #9. The needles are very sturdy and have a good eye for threading.
