Thimblelady tips:

*For needle turn applique: Use Size S needle for Thimbleldy's innovative applique techniques and #100 YLI silk thread for finest applique result, for easy threading! Size M and L are plenty good enough if you have large hands and your applique designs are around simple to intermediate level skill: meaning with reasonably wide seams (such as 1/4inch or 1/8 in wide seams) and your projects materials are general commercial materials. Size S needle can be used for all level needle turn applique but it is a must for advanced needle turn skills with very fine seams to turn!

*For hand piecing (whipstitch piecing): Double the YLI Silk thread and use Size S needle and stitch with Thimblelady's new invention - the Stitch Regulator to achieve perfect piecing stitches with ease!

*For hand piecing (American method): Use Size M needle - thin and long, so you can load many stitches at a time. Easy and Fast.

*For hand quilting: Thimblelady's fine, long and sharp Size M is the best if you can quilt with Thimblelady's pain free hand quilting technique (no pricking fingers and load 14 stitches at a time) for general quality and densities of commercial materials. Size L needle is great and more comfortable for quilters and sewers with large hands. Just make sure you choose looser weave materials to sew with thicker needles! Thimblelady's fine cotton satin is the very best for fine stitches as well as ease of quilting! Try it, you will know what I am talking about!
