I assume you are asking about hand quilting needles. Is this correct. Any needle that slides through fabric easily and is comfortable to hold is ok. Betweens are for hand quilting. Don't buy the assorted pack that has size 3-9 or 4-10 or whatever because you will use only the smaller sizes and never the larger. I prefer the English made needles because I believe they are stronger. I am told they are all made in the same factory in England. I don't have this info first hand. I do not buy the "designer" labeled needles because they are regular needles with a new name. My sister prefers the Colonial needles, she is a hand quilter. I like the Thomas and usually get size 9.
Thomas has an assorted pack of betweens that is a good value because it contains sizes 8 , 10, 11 ande 12. I recommend new hand quilters to get this and work down from largest (8) to the size that is comfortable. Other brands you can get at LQS or JoAnns are Hennings, Colonial and of course the Thomas.
