The Best Hand Sewing Needles for Designers, Artists, and Crafters
Jun 25, 2020
Whether you’re a beginning or accomplished quilter, fashion designer, fiber artist, or seamstress, it’s vital to have a good set of needles for hand sewing. High-quality needles make clothing repairs a breeze and ensure that fabric won’t be damaged or snagged in the process. Hand-stitching isn’t only for fabric; it is a fabulous embellishment technique for artists working in paper and plastics and a nice alternative to adhesives. A set of premium needles is also essential for creating beautiful books. Hand sewing needles are available in a variety of types. Sharps are good all-purpose needles with a sharp point, round eye, and medium length. Embroidery needles and darners have sharp points too, but also a longer eye for ease in threading embroidery floss and thick thread. Quilting needles are short and thin for fast, precise stitching. Tapestry needles are large, with big eyes and blunt tips. To choose the needles that are right for you, browse our picks of the best.
