Hello Cecil!
Welcome from Minnesota!

welcome from central illinois. sorry I can't tell you what size my needle is that I'm hand quilting with, I no longer have the paper that came with it----now don't tell me I can read it on the needle 'cause there ain't enough magnifiers for me or something. It loks like greek to me!

Welcome to our Q and A. I am from central Alabama and LOVE to hand quilt. I try different sizes of needles, depending on my batting and quilt top. I prefer a sleder, short needle, but the longer ones quilt faster (*Notice, I didn't say I quilt faster!)

Welcome!

Hello, welcome and happy quilting from Germany!

Welcome from Minnesota and Happy Quilting

Thanks ladies for all the info. I've been using Dritz or Fons & Porter needles and they just bend so easily. Don't know if it's me or the needles. But yesterday I ordered Roxanne needles. Can hardly wait to try them. You all are just great.

Welcome! I am still experimenting have tried just about all of them and I don't like the betweens. I'd rather use the sharps but the jury is still out! :shock:

Welcome! I am still experimenting have tried just about all of them and I don't like the betweens. I'd rather use the sharps but the jury is still out! : :lol: I have tried just as many thimbles and too cheap to buy the Roxanne thimble. Current favorite thimble is the one like Roxannes that clover makes.

Hello and Welcome to the board :D:D:D
