I'll admit that I do very little hand sewing, but...

I'm completely on-board with betweens. They're great for doing  
running stitch; since they're shorter there's less drag from the  
needle. I've been working my way through a big pack of vintage  
betweens with flat-ground eyes (much like suture needle eyes) and  
I'll be very disappointed when I get to the last one and have to  
start using new ones.

Hi.
Suddently all the stores in Denmark dont have the needles i use for my 
embroidery any more.

I used Millward sharps, and i dont think i can find any online.
The needles i can find here, are two big, that is to say, the heads are 
two big. I need really small heads, not bigger than the shaft in itself.

Does any know where i can get any online please?



MacCulloch and Wallis, Kleins, several places on line, all on my links 
page.
