DMC 1765-5/10 Embroidery Hand Needles, 16/pkg

Product Information

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. I always look on Needle n’ Thread when I start a project to see what type of needle I need for my current project and I’ve used most of the above needles for all different types of embroidery, Crewel needles for general embroidery, Milliner for bullion and french knots, I’ve used tapestry needles for whipping and laced embroidery and chenille needles. I purchased the Tobin Blue Rose Stamped Kitchen Towels For Embroidery but the insstructions do not tell me the size needle to use or if the needle should be blunt or sharp like a sewing needle.

Experienced embroiderers generally acquire a feel for what size needle will work best in specific stitching situations. The only needle I had difficulty with was the curved needle but I need to practice more with the needle to feel comfortable with it. I just finished collecting all the required needles for my new little Jane Nicholas stumpwork project.These two techniques have save me from pulling out my hair with all those tangles and knots that get in your working threads from the twisting of embroidery or sewing.

Although you may hear a pop as the needle passes through the fabric (the pop is usually most evident on very taut fabrics), there should be no real resistance in the fabric when pulling the eye of the needle through. By specialty needles, I mean especially curved needles, and,for those who do a lot of beading on their embroidery, beading needles.If, however, you are unsatisfied for any reason, we are happy to refund the whole amount to you on receipt of the product you have purchased. Curved needles are also very handy for finishing techniques, because they can pass in and out of areas where a straight needle won’t work.
