"Straw" needles
I have read somewhere that when binding a quilt by hand that "straw" needles where the best and easiest to use. I have yet to find any. could use help with this - I tried a search but I am not very computer savy and failed to find them - I am almost sure I must be doing something wrong Thanks Cheryl

Straw needles are also called Milliners needles. I use my size 11 applique needles for my bindings. Here is a link with lots of choices. I still think that it is personal opinion as to which needle you feel more comfortable with.

I had never heard of straw needles till a couple of weeks ago. At our next monthly quilting group meeting, one of the members is giving a demo on how she does her exquisite hand applique. She told us to get straw needles as part of our supply list. Now I know where to get them. Thanks for the link!
