Choose your needle pack based on your needs. These Astro Couture half-length sewing needles are suitable for seamstresses and tailors who want to work with different types of fabrics and start patchwork or hand quilting. The larger the needle, the longer and more robust it is, allowing it to pass through thick fabrics without difficulty. Half-length sewing needles are ideal for general sewing projects. Their perfectly pointed tip will glide perfectly through all types of fabrics.
Short with a slightly rounded eye, these patchwork needles are ideal for quilting. Half-length needles are ideal for quilting, a technique associated with patchwork. They will make quilting easier, among other things. Short needles allow you to make smaller stitches. These stitches are therefore tight and hold the batting securely in place. It is entirely possible to sew with these needles. We have noticed that once you get used to working with needles of a certain length, you do all your creative hobbies with the same needles. However, this requires some learning and is not necessarily suitable for beginners. As a beginner, starting with the right tools, adapted to facilitate the task and learning the technique, is the best option.
Why such a short needle? The needle doesn't have to be long, to achieve a particular technique. For patchwork quilting, the needle is pushed horizontally into the fabric, spacing the stitches very closely. These needles are generally used on 100% cotton patchwork fabric with a very tight weave. They can be used on all fabrics by adapting the needle number to the weave of the fabric. They are generally used with quilting thread (stronger than traditional thread).
Astro Couture long sewing needles are practical and elegant needles with a gold eye that is easier to identify visually. The numbering corresponds to the size of each needle, with #7 being the longest and thickest and #10 the shortest and thinnest in the series. Sizes 3 to 5 correspond to thick fabrics, sizes 6 to 8 to medium fabrics, and sizes 9 and 10 to thin fabrics.
