Chenille needles are large eye needles and are identical to a Tapestry or a Cross Stitch Needle in length and in diameter. However, the Chenille point is sharp, rather than round and blunt and is used for hand quilting plus in the art of crewel embroidery and ribbon embroidery. Please remember the higher the number the finer the needle.
Jen uses the Milliner needle to hand stitch with. She loves the 11 - it is the longest and finest, which helps regulate her stitches. When we asked Jen about the features of her Milliner needle, she mentioned that it's not thick at one end like other needles. This assists with glide, allowing you to get more running stitches on the needle.
