This Bohin Microtex needles are our absolute favorites when working with Batiks. They pierce the fabric cleanly and last forever. One pack includes three sizes for general use.
We love these pins for paper-piecing because they lie flat and don't get in the way when creasing the paper foundation for seam allowances. It doesn't hurt that they're so cute!
Are you a hand embroiderer? Have you tried Jeanne Kimball's Foxglove Cottage embroidery needles? They're our most favorite needle for hand embroidery, and this sampler package gives you five different sizes to try.
