Hello everyone,

Sorry for my absence recently, My sister just had a baby... You can understand how hecktic the house is right now!

I can't seem to be able to find size 10 sewing needles! I did have a really thin needle, It just appeard and it was great! It was so thin I had to use a magnifying glass to thread it. I find I'm usually "Normal" sewing needles and the holes are just to big and can cause the stitching to show IMHO!

As soon as that needle appeard, It was gone lol I don't seem to be able to get them anywhere! Where can I get them. I've seen beading needles, They look like the one I had and I just loved it. Any idea where I can get some from in the UK?

I found a site that sells, 10-15 size needles...  I'm thinking those 15's will be so hard to thread. What do you think?

Is Smaller better?

Thank you,

Richy~

Hi there!  Try a size 10 or 12 hand quilting needle.  They are my favorite to use for little ones!

Oh Richy: I know what you mean about the thin needles. I love the John James Sharps #12. I found them in my local quilting shop. They also have them for quilting too under "John James" and it says they are for quilting but they are shorter than the John James Sharps #12.  Both these come in a small package of 20-25 needles. I would suggest you look at both to see what length is good for you.  Here is what the package looks like:
