I don't suppose there's some way to straighten bent hand quilting needles...

I'm using John James 10s and am going right through them.
Have a loose tension and am only doing a couple stitches at a time, but am going through a lot of seams so maybe that's my problem. I hate just throwing away all these needles! I'm going through them like one every day or two. :-/

I've never heard of straightening them but maybe you should try a heavier size 9. Maybe they won't bend as easily. If it doesn't go all the way thru at some of the seams, it's not the end of the world. Where are those quilting police anyway?lol
