Cross Stitch Needles
what is everyone's favorite needle?
I was using a "My Favorite Needle" but I misplaced or lost it. Then I was using Piecemakers but they don't hold the thread very well. The thread would stick to my dry hands and puttl right out of the needle. Now I am using another brand of 'short' needle, like the My Favorite Needle, but I can't remember the brand? Two of them came in a small plastic box that slips inside a 'felt' bag. I like them because the thread doesn't slip out of them as easily. I do use Curel Intensive Healing on my fingers if they get too dry. Rich WIP: Tree Of Life by La-D-Da |

Or, if you want your hands really smooth for stitching, try Gloves in a Bottle. I use that whenever I'm working with silks.

It's a toss-up between Lance and Tristan Brooks. Both have smooth eyes
that make them easy to thread. On Tue, 05 Mar 2013 08:28:43 -0500, wrote: what is everyone's favorite needle? I was using a "My Favorite Needle" but I misplaced or lost it.

I have to quit reading for a while! "Lance and Tristan Brooks" with the "smooth eyes" sound like a set of twins from a Regency romance novel!!!!!!!!!! (lol instead of smiley face for Sheena). Maybe we could (almost) all imagine that Lance and Tristan are reading aloud to us while we stitch?

I've done travel stitching with it on and it seems to be fine C |

I think John James makes a short needle. Haven't tried them, but I do
like JJ needles in general. My favorite tapestries are the gold ones, they just seems to balanced, if that makes any sense!
