Wow, I thought her needles were only for quilting. This is great to know; thank you!

(For someone who spends the time I have on her website, I really should just buy something LOL!)

I love ThimbleLady's needles - they are exceptionally narrow and I just like the way they handle. She has small - med - large! I like the longer ones for hand piecing - the shorter ones for applique.
