    Milliner's Needles are just the ticket for hand sewing the binding. I lucked into that on my last quilt and won't go back to those teeny needles that don't have any "give." It's just me...when painting was my "thing," I gripped the brushes so hard that the slim handled ones ended up bent. Need relaxation anyone? Now it's on to hand sewing bindings and milliner's needles! :-)

    I do all my bindings by hand. My experiences with machine binding have been close to fatal.

    Looks great!! Aren't milliner's needles fantastic? I use them almost exclusively for my hand work (including embroidery, hand binding, etc). Haven't tried that brand, I will look for them.
