You flatter me Sharon in thinking I know what I am doing! They were some needles I bought from the grocery store.
I have to say it is harder to hand quilt but I think it is because I used two layers of batting (I bend one needle already). When I washed the cotton batting, I should have put it in a pillow case or something. It got thin in spots. Being thrifty, I decided to use both of them! I can only do 2 sts at a time. I guess I'll learn.
I have to say, I have not worked on this alot but yesterday was the first day it finally felt relaxing.
