Betweens needles were designed specifically for hand quilting. They were made for the traditional hand quilting done with a quilting frame or hoop. When using the traditional "rocker" method of hand quilting, the needle's short shank provides easy control. The Betweens needle is thicker than other needles, giving it added strength for moving through a quilt's multiple layers. Small quilting stitches are possible with any size of Betweens needles. Make your needle choice based on its comfort in your hand and your ability to thread it.
Size 11 Betweens needles combine the best characteristics of the Size 12 and the Size 10 Betweens needles. They are the same length as the Size 12 and the same diameter as the Size 10 Betweens needles. The Size 11 needle length provides good control when using the "rocker" hand quilting method, and it's diameter keeps it from breaking easily.
