Hand Quilting Needles
Hand quilting needles are essential tools for quilters who enjoy the art of hand stitching. Designed for precision and control, these needles are perfect for both piecing and quilting projects.
For piecing, Sharps Needles offer a fine, sharp point and slender body, making them ideal for sewing small, accurate stitches when assembling quilt blocks.
Betweens Needles, shorter and sturdier, are what you need for hand quilting, allowing for smooth, even stitching whilst you make the classic ‘rocking’ movement through layers of fabric and batting.
Many quilters love hand piecing and quilting for the mindfulness it brings, offering a slower, more meditative approach to creating beautiful quilts. Hand stitching also allows for greater control over intricate designs and patterns.
Self-threading needles are a fantastic addition to any quilter’s toolkit if you struggle with threading your needle. They have a little slit at the top of a double eye so that you can easily slide your thread down into the eye for stitching. Not only are self-threading needles perfect for piecing, but they’re also invaluable for sinking or burying threads after quilting, particularly if you are left with a short thread tail, making sure that the back of your quilts looks neat and professional.
