Needles for hand quilting

I do too, Louise. Discovered them and they are great. I don't have
trouble threading them most of the time and they are a good size for
me. I even use them for piecing and applique.

I like Roxanne 11s (actually, I prefer the 12s, but they're getting too hard
for me to thread without the help of my 6-year-old nephew).

I like the S. Thomas and the John James Needles.

OK I got the group's opinions on thimbles. Now I am asking what you
like for hand quilting in the line of needles.

Brand, and needle number.

Thanks, Sharon

And they don't make nice needles either. Too bendy and microscopic eyes.

I use and love Jeanna Kimballs betweens size 11. I switched to these
from Piecemakers size 12 several years ago when I became aware of what
was behind the company. The Jeanna Kimball needles are thin and strong
and have a good size eye so that these getting old eyes can still thread
it without too much of a problem.

1 thing you have to keep in mind - do you prefer a worn out needle to bend
or to break? I personally hate a bent needle, so I buy Piecemaker's 'cause
they always break instead of bend.

I knew this was a radical group but didn't realize how awful (I'm trying to
contain my rage)
It turned my stomach
Haven't been to their site in years
thanks for the reminder--I think
