You found some double EYED needles and I don't know what they would be used for but would not be useful in this application. Others I found were too big for hand quilting, but thanks for looking!

it takes practice, good light, and a properly positioned quilting frame. once you get the hang of it you can zip along pretty well. it's easier on the neck, back, wrists and hands.
