I need new hand quilting needles. I've used one for years and it is 1 & 3/16 inches long. Does anyone know what size that is?
I guess if no one knows I could haul it into JoAnn's and try to find a matching size.
Thanks!

I think it is really difficult to say for sure because the length of needles of different manufacturers differ a little in length and diameter.I can only guess -the length you have indicated could be a beween number 9 or even 8. The #10 John James I have here is 1 inch.

You may have to try different needles til you find one that you like. I used to like John James, til I can across Jeana Kimball's Foxglove Cottage. They are size 10 betweens, but the seem to feel "sturdier" than the John James - I like that when i have to go thru seams and such.
