What is the best type of needle for hand sewing?
I haven't done an awful lot of hand sewing in the past but I am currently doing an EPP hexagon project.
I'm amazed by how quickly my needles are getting tarnished, which makes them really difficult to push!
I'm wondering if there's a type of needle out there that will last a bit longer? I'm currently using John James sharps (the ones that come in a "pebble") which I guess are just pretty standard needles. I think i'm on about my 6th or 7th needle and i'm only about halfway through my project! This is going to cost me a fortune in needles if I can't find a better type!
