needlesize 28 and evenweave

nanasitasue Publish time 2013-8-4 23:15

Horses for courses. Different kits, aida, size of design etc but my favourite needle is the beading needle. When that comes out I know I am going to have some fun

LouAnna Publish time 2013-8-5 00:27

I like any count linen and side 28 needle.

Jazzi Publish time 2013-8-5 10:56

As time as gone on, I've come to really like linen myself. I prefer 28 count, however I'm hoping to start working on even higher count :)

I prefer size 28 needles, however I have never tried beading needles and I do have a lot of them since I was doing beading before I came back to cross stitch.
