Just looked at the link and read what they are to be used for - boxes, etc - not hand quilting. I'm really rusty with hand quilting but I don't think a curved needle would even work. I definitely see other sewing type projects though. John James makes wonderful needles - I learned with a between - way too small even with my small hand. Went to a Sharp - works ok - finally ended up with a size 8 straw needle. For me, they work the next, even though they may be too long for some. (I use straw needles for hand appliqué so I'm used to and do,like the longer length.). It sure would be interesting if someone actually tried to quilt with one - if they come in a size that is small enough to quilt,with.
