About this deal

i know this is an old article, and i know my question doesn’t directly involve embroidery, but i was hoping you could tell me what size of cheniile needle to use for 10/2 perle cotton. My favourite crewel needle is made by Bohin which is easy to stitch with when passing through fabrics and I first read about these on Needle n’ Thread. The needle should be able to pull the thread (including the doubled thread near the eye) through the fabric fairly easily, without allowing too much abrasion on the thread as it passes through the fabric. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.

Tulip’s needle eyes are beautifully made and grinded to perfection, resulting in a clean head with no bulges to prevent snagging and allow for easier threading. i’m stitching through 10 oz cotton duck, both single thickness and up to twice or thrice in the case of seams. My latest project involves metallic thread and size 11 seed beads on a cross stitch work and it has been taxing and needle breaking to say the least. But if you want to keep them separate, consider making a needle book and marking what page has what needles on it.

Sarah says " With a longer eye, these are perfect for stitching with 2 strands of floss, a favourite number of mine! I put together information for our new members and would like to include this information on needles with your permission please. Tapestry needles have a large eye, a blunt round point and are designed for tapestry and cross stitch work.

Not only does your article on Embroidery Needles: How to Choose and Use…, your explanations fill in the holes (sort of a pun) not only to what I’m doing, but also what is going on with the fabric as I stitch. If you are looking for your first project, we have plenty of free patterns and guide for beginners from a range of talented designers. We suggest these tapestry needles from Bohin, they are strong, sturdy and perfect for many needlepoint projects.

The only needle I had difficulty with was the curved needle but I need to practice more with the needle to feel comfortable with it.They are low-cost and you get 16 in a pack varying in size between 3-9, so perfect for standard embroidery. Is there a way to identify the size of a tapestry needle if I’ve accidentally put the needle down or it’s become separated from its unique holder I use to keep my 24/26/28 sized needles separated? I don’t know if this makes sense to anybody… but I have to see the needle with my fingers and my eyes… lol. The longer shaft of the milliner needle makes it easier to wrap the thread around the needle many times. Howard Skolnick wrote that people often ask “Why does the thickness of steel diminish as the gauge increases?

That special needle would allow me to slip the thread in through the open side of the top of the needle. Whipping or lacing stitches involves passing under and around stitches that are already worked on the ground fabric, but does not involve passing in and out of the fabric often.

after i posted my question, i found out i asked this very same thing last year, but could do nowt about it at that point. Although you may hear a pop as the needle passes through the fabric (the pop is usually most evident on very taut fabrics), there should be no real resistance in the fabric when pulling the eye of the needle through. For most embroiderers who add accent beads to their embroidery, a regular crewel needle in a size 10, 11, or 12 will usually suffice in place of a dedicated beading needle. Experienced embroiderers generally acquire a feel for what size needle will work best in specific stitching situations.But for stitchers who pick up a lot of beads on the needle, and who use very tiny beads, a beading needle will come in handy. I do plastic canvas and I assume that embroidery is kind of like that except on cloth and using so many needles. I learned to embroider when I was a kid, when everyone was really into cross stitch (remember the '80s?
