In a week and a half I’ll be exhibiting at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair<\/a>. As part of my range of supplies for whitework embroidery, I’ll have a wide selection of needles that are perfect for working whitework.<\/p>\n

The needles I supply are chosen based on what I find helpful for making my whitework projects. There are tapestry needles from size 28 through to 20, embroidery needles in sizes 9 and 5-10, straw\/milliners needles in size 4, chenille needles in sizes 24 and 22, and darner needles sizes 1-5 and 14-18. <\/p>\n

Tapestry needles are good for any sort of counted work because they won’t split the fabric threads when you’re searching for the right hole. Embroidery needles are good all-purpose needles that I find useful for finishing items, and just general sewing. Straw or milliners needles are great for bullions as they have a long shaft and a narrow eye. Chenille needles are great for Mountmellick embroidery, sm\u00f8yg and anything where you need to get a thick thread through fabric. Darner needles are great for bullions with a thick thread. All these needles have other uses, but they’re the main things *I* use them for.<\/p>\n

\"whitework<\/p>\n

I have a few different brands. I like DMC needles because I find them to be good quality needles at a good price point. Not all the needles I want come in DMC brand, so I also stock some John James needles and some Richard Hemmings needles.<\/p>\n

If you have any questions about these needles, or would like advice on needles for your project, please don’t hesitate to ask.<\/p>\n

So come and see me for all your whitework embroidery needs at the Vetty Creations stand at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair. Stand H10, 29th June-3rd July, Sydney Showground, Homebush.<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t make it to the craft show, you can purchase hand embroidery needles from the Vetty Creations website http:\/\/www.vettycreations.com.au\/catalogue-needles.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
