No. 11 Milliner's Needles - Our preferred needle for Hand Applique. Several options.
My preferred needle! Several options to choose from.
I always use, No. 11 Milliner's needles when doing my reverse applique - a long, slender needle that glides through the fabric. They are honed well as to have no burrs. The delicate needle point is so fine you can easily pick up only a thread of the fabric to make invisible stitches, and the length facilitates the sweeping under of the raw edge.
Pre-pandemic we carried only Gold n’ Glides, but manufacturing issues made them extremely difficult to get, so I began testing other No. 11 Milliner’s needles so I could provide my customers with other options. Read the additional information sections to find out more.
Go on, add them to your cart so you can start stitching straight away!

What is consistent is that they are all No. 11 Milliner’s.
