John James #9 Sharp 25 Count

I’ve been using these for hand quilting and they glide through layers without bending—the finer point makes a noticeable difference for detailed stitching.

Finally, a needle that stays sharp through more than a few seams—the #9 size glides through layers without snagging. Makes hand-piecing feel much less tedious, and the pack will last me a good while.

I’d been using a different needle for my English paper piecing, but switching to these #9 sharps made a noticeable difference in how easily they pierce through multiple fabric layers. The 25-count pack gives me plenty to work with for a long time.
