I went to look at the ones I have and have discovered one package where all the needles in it are rusted. Out they go. Not sure how long I've had them.

Description of a different brand of curved needles -

  • Ideal for tying or tufting quilt layers together
  • Can also be used for upholstery and other craft projects
But like everything else if life, if it works for you, use it!!

I've never heard of using a curved sewing needle for hand quilting; but I know they are used when basting a quilt for hand piecing.

I have used the curved needle when I tie a quilt. It works good for all the layers and at the seams.

I have a package of curved hand quilting needles. I have not used them. My family tries to buy quilting things for me and I think that is where they came from. The package says hand quilting on it.

I have been using steel needles made in Japan...Tulip brand. They flex,but don't bend. It's hard to sew accurately with a bent needle.
