I was so excited when you announced that you would be doing this video. I need to hand bind a queen size quilt and have been procrastinating because the last small wall hanging I hand bound my fingers were sore for a month. I am a staff floor nurse and having sore fingers is not fun when I have to open pills. I need to get a set of good needles for hand binding.
Thanks, Cindy, for an excellent needle tutorial. I also watched your border tutorial and am so grateful you talked about the math involved in the coping strips. So thank you for that as well.
Thank you so much for taking the time to create these informational videos. I have learned so much from you! Your kindness and generosity are so very much appreciated! ❤
Thanks! Back in my cross stitch days only nickel needles were available. I had peeling fingers all the time. Then gold needles came out, I think the '80's? Game changer for me! Now that I would like to big stitch some of my bindings, nice to know my skin will stay intact!
Oh my goodness. I can’t believe you Crosstitch to anyway! You are dedicated !I only know one other person that has a nickel allergy. That’s rough.Nice to know you have options!
Very interesting show today! (I will give Faith a quiz tomorrow morning! ~Provided I can retain it that long!) Thank you for all the information you are passing around!
Thank you so very much for your information on sewing machine needles and hand sewing needles. I have a question to ask.Can you tell me what kind of needle to use with what fabric and also what thread to use. I'm a beginner sewer and I just learning technique and what kind of hand sewing needle to use on different fabric. I was hemming a pair of pants for someone, and I think they said it was polyester fabric and and I didn't know what hand needle size to use or type. So I tried one kind that I thought would work but it wound not go through the fabric so Prayerfully the Lord guided me to use a sharp and I was able to sew it. I also would like a guide or video on the different types of fabrics, and how do you can tell in shopping for them what they are. I do better with the video instructions that reading instructions. If you can suggest any videos I would appreciate it. I tried asking in the search bar for videos on what hand needles do you use with what kind of fabric but I don't see any that can tell me. I have help from God but sometimes he guides me to look at videos or a certain website to answer my question, so he guided me to you. Here's yours in Christ. God Bless your work.
Sorry, I am still confused. when I look at the package of needles I see 75/11 and 90/14 on a 130/705 H-Q quilting needle. When would I use the 11's and when the 14's? Thanks. I do a lot of piecing tops that our group donates to various organizations. The fabric is all donated to us.
So I got one of the Clover desk needle threaders and it doesn't work with any needle I buy. The needle has to have an oval eye, but embroidery needles apparently have too long of an oval. I like a longer bigger needle and usually buy embroidery needles. I bought milliner needles and I couldn't get them threaded easily and then they were so small in circumference they pierced my fingers at the eye end. Which needles are going to fit my preferences and will also work with the needle threader?
Yes. They used to make the needles out of the titanium metal and you’re right, they did have some issues. Now they just do the titanium coating over nickel and they’ve had no further issues. All good now. Also the needle would bend and not break. Which caused a lot of damage to machines.

Many thanks for taking away the mysteries of needles for quilting. Concise, quick and completely focused.
I have been following you for a few months but I'm hand sewing. Thank you for posting this video and for all that you do!
Good needle/thread information. Thanks for the tutorial 😊
Very informative on needles. Thank-you for doing this video
Thanks, Cindy, for an excellent needle tutorial. I also watched your border tutorial and am so grateful you talked about the math involved in the coping strips. So thank you for that as well.

I just found these videos and they are THE BEST! Such a good teacher.
All of your videos that I have watched have been so informative. Thank you so much for doing these
I love your instructional videos!!!

Very interesting show today! (I will give Faith a quiz tomorrow morning! ~Provided I can retain it that long!) Thank you for all the information you are passing around!
Thanks Roger! Let me know how she does!
Thank you Cindi. You did a great job of explaining the different types of needles! It makes sense now.
You learn something new everyday. I thought a needle was just a needle. Thank you. For quilting is better to use safety pins or straight pins.
I think safety pins. Less poking.
Thank you Cindy!
Learning something new with every video…thank you.
Such good information. I learned so much! Thank you, Cindi.
What pattern is the quilt behind you today, please? Great discussion, thank you.
I too would like to know.
I see in another reply from Fabric Patch the pattern is Raggedy Square
This video is so informative! You are so knowledgeable.

Thank you so much re the titanium needle. I have some that I bought a couple years ago. How long ago did they change the manufacturing?
I heard the titanium needles for embroidery machines is bad because they get warm to hot. Fact or fiction?
Yes. They used to make the needles out of the titanium metal and you’re right, they did have some issues. Now they just do the titanium coating over nickel and they’ve had no further issues. All good now. Also the needle would bend and not break. Which caused a lot of damage to machines.
What size niddle for hand sewing t shirts
It depends on what fits your hand. But I like a milliner size 7. Easy to thread, smooth and doesn’t bend.
Is that a rag bento box quilt behind you?
The quilt behind me is Brianna’s Raggedy Square pattern.
do you sell a assorted pack of the Hiroshima needles on your site?
We do in several of the types and in embroidery, we sell a small assortment and large assortment.
What is the name of the book, please?
The book mentioned is called “know your needles”
Your endorsement of Tulip brand needles goes a long way.
