Colonial Needle Hand Needles are available in a variety of sizes and styles for different uses. These needles have been designed longer, sturdier, and with a larger eye than normal, to accommodate thicker thread like #8 perle cotton, to do "Big Stitch" quilting. This new technique, sometimes called "Utility Quilting", uses even stitches, about 1/4" long and 1/8" apart, to showcase a more handmade, homespun, primitive style.
