Day 9- Needles
Today we have all of our Primitive Gatherings Needles…
This is a time to stock up we are offering 4 packs of needles for $20
You have a couple of choices…all the same kind of needles in the 4 pack or all assorted…so whether you go through needles like I do or you want to buddy up with someone, this is a nice offer…
Here’s what we have if you are not familiar…First of all I want to point out that our needles state what they are used for right on the packaging…most needles do not give you this info…they are labeled betweens, sharps, milliners, and so on…and let’s face it sometimes it will be years before we might do some things and then it’s like ok?? what needle am I supposed to be using?
#24 Chenille Needle…the one that started it all…our #24 Chenille Needles are perfect for wool appliqué…which we tend to do a lot of wool here…Our #24 is shorter and sharper than the other #24’s on the market…again…perfect for our wool appliqués using #12 wt. threads…
Then there is the #22 Chenille Needle…some of you just prefer a bigger needle…I love the #22 especially for stem- stitching…it seems to make a bigger hole to stitch back into….I use it with #8 or # 5 wt. threads…for blanket stitching and other embroidery stitches…
Next up is the Big-Stitch Needle...I can’t wait to get a quilt on my frame for 2018 to hand quilt..2017 was a super busy year and I did not hand quilt one quilt…which is sad because I love doing it…The big- stitch means we are hand quilting with #12 perle cotton thread and making big even stitches…this is the perfect needle…big eye for threading the thicker threads and it a very sturdy somewhat shorter needle for needling between those layers…Big stitch quilting goes fast and is much easier on the wallet than getting every quilt you do machine quilted by our lovely most awesome-est machine quilters….
Last but not least is our Binding needles…I can’t say how many great responses I have received from these needles? I bet most of you bind your quilts (those of you who do) with whatever needle is in your pincushion…well you will love binding with the right needle and this is it!! Our needle is long, thin but will not bend like a straw needle and it sports a nice big eye to thread a heavier quilting thread that you should be using for binding your quilts that will be used and washed.
This is a great time if you have never used our needles to try them…here is the variety pack…You will be getting a $1 off each tube for this promotion!!
Click HERE to order yours today!!! If you want to win please comment on this post…your question is…Do you love to bind? Do you hate it but do it?….Do you bind your finished quilts right away or are they stacked up waiting for you to stitch those bindings…Do you happily pay someone to put your binding on?
How is your Christmas prep going? I am fitting things in between Nick’s Dr’s Appts, work and watching Jace here and there while his Momma works the busy holiday season!!!
Today it was candy making day….My “little man” is a big helper…
and he has his MiMi’s love of dark chocolate!!!
PS…I am so happy…I just got my new iPhone…(I still had a 6, which is ancient if you use your phone for work as much as I do-I can be stubborn sometimes and not want to pay for a new phone every time a new one comes out…) it takes such wonderful photos!!!! It has portrait mode…see the background blur…and look how clear they are!!! I suppose it helps that this kid is soooo adorable too!
