Jeana Kimball needles from Foxglove Cottage are best known for use in hand applique. The Straw needle has a narrow shank that glides easily through multiple layers of fabric. Since the eye of the needle is punched within the existing shank, it does hesitate at the eye when pulled through fabric. The Straw needle is useful for basting, hand piecing, and applique.
Size 8 Straw needles are thicker and longer than the Size 9 Straw needle. They can be used for both basting and hand quilting. Size 8 Straw needles are recommended when using the template-free or back-basting method of preparation for applique. You can also easily make tiny quilting stitches with the Size 8 Straw.
