I use a larger needle for quilting than piecing so that I don't break needles :D:D:D
|
I am sewing the binding on...so I don't think it will show. What happens if the holes are big?
|
Amma, Which one do you use?
|
I have used jean needles and everything came out just fine. The holes disappear after you wash it.

you might see them, that's all. For binding, I would think it's okay, but what do i know? |
argh....my machine is not working...the bobbin thread keeps getting stuck. I'm so frustrated...most if the binding is done so I will hand sew the rest than hand sew the other side. I hope I can figure out what is wrong with my machine.

I would use what I have...

Jeans needles will be fine. Some people I know use them for everything. The holes are not substantial. Go for it!
