🧵 Colonial Needle JJEG100 11 Sewing Needles for Applique Projects Review

I do a lot of appliqué but never understood the difference a good appliqué needle can make. They are very, very good (refilling is not an easy task) and a bit flexible so it's easier to pick up just a few threads at a time. Highly recommended.

I haven't found a needle I like more than John James or The lady with a thimble yet. They are both smooth and last a long time. The foxglove's needle ears are only slightly larger, but otherwise comparable. I have a lot of both and use both.

I recently had a big hand embroidery and applique project where I decided to thread all the needles I had on hand so I could work uninterrupted. These needles have gained popularity due to their ability to glide on fabric. Seriously, hands down. I had the more expensive ones and felt like I had to "poke" them until they slid like clockwork.
