They're quite strong and the eye is big enough to feed that thread through (well the first few attempts anyways). I bought some "Klasse Gold Eye Hand Needle Sharps" (sz 5-10) from BigW last week and have found these to be really good too. They're long and strong.Anorina @SameliasMumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01210287822137630366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603222641266424303.post-30001031075839125412020-03-28T13:45:19.387+11:002020-03-28T13:45:19.387+11:00Oh my gosh, that is the perfect name for it!

There are so many beautiful EPP quilts out there and some people (somehow) seem to be very quick at making them. I'll be hand quilting for a while longer, but I'll enjoy it, especially now as the weather is cooling down quickly.Anorina @SameliasMumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01210287822137630366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603222641266424303.post-48588783737912189782020-03-28T13:39:54.878+11:002020-03-28T13:39:54.878+11:00Thanks Karen.
