The standard sizes are based on wire sizes; that’s why needles are sized the way they are – they’re sized just like wire is, with lower numbers being heavier and higher numbers being finer.

While we all have our favorite specialty tools, our most basic and most important stitching tool – the one we can’t do without – is the needle. how – focusing on our embroidery and cross stitch articles, alongside filming and editing videos for our Arts and Crafts tutorials. In fact, many crewel embroiderers prefer chenille needles for crewel work because the eye is easier on the wool thread and the sharp tip and large shaft make a good hole in the fabric so that the wool thread can pass through relatively unscathed.

Curved needles are used to secure threads on the back of embroidery, especially in situations where the fabric is very taut and the backs of the stitches are small and tight. For surface embroidery, you have to consider not only the thickness of the thread, but also the thickness of the thread at the eye where the thread is doubled, and the weave of the fabric. Embroidery needles have a slender shaft and sharp point that’s designed to pierce embroidery fabrics easily.Size 13-18 chenille needles will seem positively huge to a stitcher who’s used to working with finer needles. If it’s happening every time you take up a needle, I’d work on purposely relaxing your hand while you stitch – as in, think about what your hand is doing and how hard it is gripping the needle, and relax it. Tulip’s needle eyes are beautifully made and grinded to perfection, resulting in a clean head with no bulges to prevent snagging and allow for easier threading.
