By: Rebecca Burch,

My husband’s boss was expecting a baby in March. I found this darling shamrock fabric so I made a baby quilt (“Single Irish Chain”) from it. I hand quilted shamrocks in the plain squares. As it happened, the baby was a little girl (Kelly) born on St. Patrick’s Day! So this was perfect for her!

    For hand quilting I generally switch between John James, Richard Hemming or Roxanne, all Betweens size 10. My fingers aren’t nimble enough anymore to hang onto a #11. I’ve lately been doing a bit of hand embroidery again and for that I’ve just been using the big box store Dritz embroidery needles.

    I don’t do a lot of hand stitching. I have needles that I bought in a package years ago that are divided by type like embroidery, crewel and such and I don’t know what brand they are. When I use them I just take from the compartment that fits the type of sewing I am going to be doing so I am not even sure of the size.

    Paule-Marie

    i’ll be the first to admit that I will use any needle I can find. Sometimes, I can’t find all the needles I have, so I just make do. That said, I do like Roxanne and John James needles.

    I found a new needle from Clover. It’s got a specially coated shaft – black. Can’t find the package to tell you what it is. BUT, the needle is slicker than black ice. It goes through fabric layers like you wouldn’t believe. I’ve got to get more of them. They are just the right size and hold up to me. It took a lot of sewing before the needle finally bent a little.

  48. Rachell R Avatar

    For hand-quilting, I use #8 betweens. I’m not sure what brand they are. Probably Dritz.
    For hand-sewing bindings, I like a longer, thicker needle because I have longer, thicker fingers and longer needles are generally easier to hold for me!

  49. Debbie Avatar

    I have no idea! Years ago I used to go for the straw needles, but now I just grab anything that’s thin and long.

    So many gorgeous green quilts. All of them are lovely. I use only “Foxglove Cottage ” needles. Mainly the Red-work Embroidery style. They wonderfully thin, including the eye of the needles, but the eye will easily accommodate three strands of floss when needed. I use size 9 and 10 because they are longer but still sleek enough to glide easily through the fabric and easy for me to keep hold of even though I don’t have any feeling in the tips of my fingers. OH, and the price is right too. They have a large variety of needles including ‘betweens’ and other quilting and embroidery specialty needles including sample packs with variety of sizes. Thanks for a chance in this giveaway!

    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.

    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.
