One of the comments I always make in my hand applique classes is that even though I recommend a certain needle I think you should keep testing needles and I will do the same. Well, I came across a new one I really like. I found this new needle when I was walking the isles at the International Quilt Festival in Houston this fall and it has taken me this long to track them down to make them available on my site. This new needle and threader are made by the Tulip, Co. from Japan. Getting them from Japan to the U.S. took some doing. But here they are. I love the way they go through the layers of my fabric with such ease. They even go through batiks easily. I love it when I find something that makes what I do that much easier.
And of course I had to get some of the needle threaders from the Tulip Co. as well.
Both of these items are available on my website in the store section.
