Questions & Answers

I just got size 11 in the mail. threading is a difficult task What do I need to get a bigger eye and a longer straw in the next size? I'm suffering from Arthritis: ?

For the smaller eye, use a finer thread. , for these needles, silks ranging from 60 to 100; I also use a needle threader and, on occasion, beeswax that I press into the thread; I hand sew a lot of silk fabric with silk thread, and I learned how to use bee's wax from Susan Khalje's couture classes. The 11's are my favorite because they glide through silk and cotton with ease and don't leave any holes.

Is it possible that these are the same thing as Milliners?

Milliners, on the other hand, are a little more substantial. The John James Milliners are also available on Amazon. I hope this information is useful. br>Raylene br>Raylene br>Raylene br

How long does it take for the needles to reach their destination?

They differ slightly in size, with size 10 being 1 1/4" and size 9 being 1 3/8". I hope this information is useful. Applique needles are what you're looking at.

What kind of needles are these, and where do they come from?

The needles shown are made in England, and I enjoy using them because they are fine but strong, and do not bend when used in quilting.

There is a lack of quality
3/5

These needles are not to be recommended. My thread has been shredded by the first two. The truth is revealed on the back of the small packet: "In England, needles imported to Entaco's quality and specification were assembled and inspected. " These needles appear to have been packaged in England rather than being manufactured there. These don't meet my high standards for quality. I'm glad I didn't buy two! It was always a joy to use these needles. Fortunately, I was suspicious before I noticed the imported message on the back and ordered a packet of Bohin applique needles, also size 11, with the words "MADE IN FRANCE" on the back of the packet. I'm going to give these a try later this afternoon and will report back.

I haven't come across a needle that I prefer
5/5

I haven't found a needle that I like as much as John James or The Thimble Lady. They're both smooth and last a long time; the needle eyes on Thimble Lady are slightly larger, but they're otherwise comparable. I have a lot of both, and I use them both.

5/5

I had a big hand embroidery done recently? I decided to thread all of my various needles that I had on hand for an applique project so that I could work uninterrupted. These needles were the clear winners when it came to gliding through the fabric. Hands down, without a doubt. I had some more expensive ones that I felt like I had to "poke" through, whereas these glided right through like butter.

The needles are incredible
5/5

I do a lot of applique, but I had no idea how important good applique needles were until now. These are extremely fine (threading them can be difficult) and slightly flexible, making it easier to pick up only a few threads at a time. Highly recommended.
