Project Description
Betweens needles, Quilting needles
Description:
- Betweens needles (Quilting needles) are generally a shorter needle than most (typically between 22 and 38mm long).
- The diameter of the needle is the same as a sharp needle however they are much shorter in length to allows the quilter to create quick and even stitching.
- They have a small rounded eye and are used for making fine stitches on heavy fabrics such as tailoring, quilt making, and other detailed handwork.
- Designed to pass between the layers of a quilt, leaving only the smallest of holes.
- Considered a basic sewing needle, this style is perfect for detailed handwork. Traditionally used by tailors or professional sewers.

Size Guide:
- As a general guide, needle sizing is referred to by its wire gauge number. The lower the number the thicker the needle.
- A pack of 3/9 would be an assortment of needles ranging between size 3 and 9.
- A pack of size 8 would be all needles in the pack the same = size 8.
- Size 8 is quite a thin diameter needle compared to a size 3.
- Use Sharps size 2, 3 and 4 for general sewing on medium to heavy fabrics. These sizes have a larger eye and therefore are easier to thread. Sharps in size 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are the most popular within the sharp family and they are commonly used for general sewing on light to medium fabrics.
- Select the needle size according to the weight of the fabric. It is better to choose the eye which is 40% bigger than the thread diameter, otherwise the thread will start to break.
