[Pages:4]A Few Customer Reviews

Piecemakers Betweens Quilting Needles Size 12 are a must for my hand quilting needs. I have tried many other brands, including the very expensive brands, and I've never been satisified, until I tried Piecemakers. Recently, I ran out of my Piecemaker needles and needed to meet a deadline to finish a Christmas gift. Out of desperation I had to use another brand that had been given to me by a friend. She had promised that the new needles were "the best to be found" and I would "love them". So I opened the package and threaded the fancy designer needle with high hopes! After about 3 stitches the "other needle" was bent and I was not able to continue working on my project. Since I live a considerable distance from a quilting supply store I logged on to to order some needles, and my new Piecemaker needles were delivered in just a few days. Piecemakers are very durable and the only brand I have used, with success, for the past 17 years! -- Bonnie McKee

When I use the DMC needles, or alternatives, I have to chuck mine away after one project. If I'm doing a big project (say a Mira, not that I ever stitch those), I can use up a whole pack of needles. These Piecemakers, I have taken 2 out of the packet (for 2 different projects) and I am still using them a month later. (Tapestry 28) -- From an internet embroidery blog

I ran across your needle in New Orleans. They are the best I've ever used! -- Gretchen Mortimer

Through the kindness of a friend, I became hooked on your needles. They work so much better than others. -- Gail Baer

Help! I'm down to my last needle and no other brand gives me those wonderful little stitches. -- Rebecca Sherwood

?Sizes available: 8, 9, 10, 12, Assorted 8 to 12, Assorted 5 to 10 Betweens needles are short with a straight shaft (it does not get wider at the eye), which makes it easy to load several stitches at a time and glide through the fabric with no resistance.

Calico Braided Rug

?Sizes available: Assorted 3 and 5 This needle with a triangle-shaped point, also known as a glover, is used for lacing and stitching fabric braids together in rug making.

Chenille

?Sizes available: 20, 22, Assorted 18 to 22 sizes 14, 16 and 18 available singly

The chenille needle is a large diameter needle similar in length to tapestry needles, with a sharp point for embroidery using thicker decorative threads and ribbon, tacking crazy patch quilts with batting and backing, and for tying quilts. The larger needle sizes (#'s 14, 16 and 18) are the best to use for the bias cut and wide hand-dyed silk ribbons that fray easily. It is also used for crewel work, candlewicking and stitching on coarse materials.

Hand Applique

?Sizes available: size 12 (Sharps) For hand applique, piecing and sewing on delicate fabrics; thinner and longer than a quilting needle.

Size 13 is used as a laying tool (needle trolley) for ribbon embroidery. Also, adding unique sequins and beads to your project is a breeze using our size 28 tapestry needle -- specifically made for beading onto fabric and stitching extremely fine embroidery projects.
