Great idea. Are these needles too large to use for binding?

they come in a couple of sizes within the package. I think they would be a little large for binding but I haven't tried it. I do one side with the machine then flip over to back and hand stich down with tiny stiches....depending on how my hands feel that day. some days can't hold the needle.

I have always used curved needles. I thought everyone did that. Just goes to show - never assume.

I use them for basting. Sometimes I walso use the spray to baste but lately it's been gunking up my needle. I changed brands.

OMG ROFL, when I first saw that I thought they were wires for an underwire bra.

Wouldn't it take a lot of them and are they cheap enough to use for basting? I would be a bleeding mess, as I am the only one I know who can watch as she pokes her fingers!
