I wouldn't let that stop you!

Everyone is different, and what worked for Alex and what worked for me will be entirely different. When I started, I bought a pack with several different size needles. I found the size 9 worked better for me, then worked down to size 11.

Whenever I see a new needle brand, I buy a pack just to try. Right now, my favorite is Richard Hemmings size 11.
