I went to look at the ones I have and have discovered one package where all the needles in it are rusted. Out they go. Not sure how long I've had them.

Description of a different brand of curved needles -

Ideal for tying or tufting quilt layers together
Can also be used for upholstery and other craft projects

But like everything else if life, if it works for you, use it!!

I've never heard of using a curved sewing needle for hand quilting; but I know they are used when basting a quilt for hand piecing.

I have used the curved needle when I tie a quilt. It works good for all the layers and at the seams.

I have a package of curved hand quilting needles. I have not used them. My family tries to buy quilting things for me and I think that is where they came from. The package says hand quilting on it.

I have been using steel needles made in Japan...Tulip brand. They flex,but don't bend. It's hard to sew accurately with a bent needle.
