Cynthia also sent John James "Gold'nGlide" size 9 quilting needles. I was able to buy a pack of the John James embroidery needles at the Tokyo Dome show and they work pretty well. I seldom wear a thimble so needles that are sharp at the eye and short are hard for me to quilt with.Julie Fukudahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704374750710761269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-50195298124130884552014-09-09T19:14:11.278-07:002014-09-09T19:14:11.278-07:00Enjoyed the story, but I am curious too...what is ...Enjoyed the story, but I am curious too...what is the name of the needle?Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09077658139465236292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-12158520960458202972014-08-27T01:38:40.983-07:002014-08-27T01:38:40.983-07:00What a wonderful story!

I have tried the gold-n-glide but still prefer the Hemming sharp size 9 large eye! All the sweeter to use because a Tokyo memory is attached.

I also like the longer needles for any hand stitching I do, too.Cheryl's Teapots2Quiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005480747596617459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-72649872714056091932014-08-25T14:59:56.340-07:002014-08-25T14:59:56.340-07:00I like the john james needles for some things, esp...I like the john james needles for some things, especially the straw needles, great for needle turn.
