Jeana Kimball's Foxglove Cottage Milliners/Straw Needles Size 11

These needles are really nice. I needed a long thin needle for quilting. I even use it for piecing as I don't care much for short needles. Some people stated it is difficult to thread but I had no problem and my eyesight is rather poor. I just cut the thread at an angle. The needles measure 1 & 1/2 inches and is just slightly thicker than those james needles in the yellow and black packets which I like because I kept bending the James ones. It shipped quicker than estimated and packaging was protective. Overall, a very good needle and worth the price.

I piece quilts quite often and these are my favorite needles. I enjoy the longer shaft of the straw needle because it gives me a bit more leeway for accuracy. They are easier to grip at this length. They also have a relatively large eye for a straw needle that makes threading much easier for me. Finally, for the grip impaired, they do not bend as easily as most brands. I have a heavy grip that is not classically correct, so these are forgiving of my style. Of course I do appreciate the little case since I have been known to thread a needle into a project at the end of the day and lose it forever. Great needle.

These needles are fantastic! they were exactly as advertised. I wanted a longer flexible needle to use in English paper piecing and I needed one that was easy to pull thru the fabric. When I received my order and saw the tiny eye, I thought I had made a mistake....but these are easier to thread than the milliners that I had been using.I will buy them again! (great price and quick shipping, to!)

I love these needles for handsewing my 2” hexie quilt. They are thin, sharp and flexible enough to quickly sew together my project, but the eye is still big enough that I can easily thread them.

Thin sharp needles that are perfect for hand applique and hand quilt piecing. They do have tiny eyes and must be threaded with a needle-threader as the thread is slightly larger than the eyes.

I find these difficult to use, but they were recommended by a friend.

everything good, haven't used long enough to see if they hold up, other needles I've had in the past have weakened with use, hope these don't.

I use these needles for hand piecing and quilting. They are a bit longer than a between and easier for me to handle. They are strong and can take my not very delicate touch.
