FAQ

What size should I start with? No. 9 is the most forgiving — slightly longer and easier to handle, especially if you're new to hand quilting. Many quilters move to No. 10 or No. 12 as their stitch becomes more consistent and they want more precision.

What is the difference between Quilting and Quilting Between needles? Both are short needles designed for hand quilting. Quilting Between needles are fractionally thinner and shorter at the same size number — a subtle difference that comes down to personal preference. If you're unsure, the Between assortment (SKU 4963) is a good comparison.

What is the difference between these and Applique/Sharps? Sharps are noticeably longer, suited for appliqué and general hand sewing. These Quilting needles are shorter, giving you more control for the rocking stitch through quilt layers. Same Black Gold coating — different length for a different job.
