When I make a quilt I machine stitch the top but like to hand stitch the layers together. I am wondering for all those who hand quilt, what brand of needle do you like to use best and where do you get your needles from?

I love John James size 11 or Roxanne size 11. The Clover brand is also good, but the needle's eyes are quite small. John James also have Big Eyes, they thread very easy. We have a little online-shop here in Germany for quilting supplies, so I'm happy to get my material from the wholesaler.

I use John James, Hemming and I really like clovers too. Anything but dritz, has been good and I have been quilting for over 25 years. I use a size 11 or 12. But for someone new I usually recommend they start with a 9.
