Yesterday at my sewing group, one of the ladies had a couple of sewing needles that were really cool. I am not exactly what I would use them for but I sure would like to have some of them.
They are pointed at both ends and in the middle is the eye to thread the thread through. Here is a picture please be aware I DO NOT claim to be an artist. LOL. But if anyone knows what they are called or where I can find them at I would really appreciate it. Thanks for all that helps. Pointed at each end and the eye in the center [ATTACH=CONFIG]218841[/ATTACH] |
I've never seen needles like that. I'm afraid I'd hurt myself if I tried to use one.

LOL I probably will. :)

This is what I found...
"Twin Pointed Needles Twin pointed needles have points on both ends with an eye in the middle. This allows stitching with one hand on each side of a hoop-mounted canvas or quilt. No needle turning means less wrist strain, less thread twisting, less dropping the needle between stitches and faster stitching." Can be found here.... http://store.quilting-warehouse.com/...inpointed.html |
This particular link has them on sale as they are not going to reorder. Pretty good price at a $1.00/packet.

They are John James Twin Point Stab Stitch needles and can be found pretty much anywhere...Hancock Fabrics for 3.10, Hancocks of Paducah for 1.98, a wide range of prices for the 3-pack.

I found out they were double pointed tapestry needles pretty quick, but finding someplace that sells them was a little tricky. I finally found a site overseas that sells John James brand sewing needles, and a little more searching found out that JoAnns also sells them. Here's a link from JoAnns - http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog/p...RODID=prd12805

Thanks everyone for the help. :) Much appreciated.

well this sounds like these might be good to use for cross- stitching. What do you all think?
