Using your needles
Select a fine thread suited to the fabric and test a few stitches on a scrap. Use the short needle to take small bites at the appliqué edge, keeping thread tension gentle enough that the fabric lies flat.
Good to know: Hand-sewing needles only; not for sewing machines. One item in your cart is one pack of six needles.
Helpful answers
Is this the Big Eye version?
No. Choose the separately listed size 10 Big Eye pack if that is the eye style you want.
Why choose a shorter appliqué needle?
A shorter needle can feel more controlled for tiny stitches; the best choice also depends on your hands and technique.
