Basting needles are essential tools in quilting, designed to temporarily hold layers of fabric and batting together before the final stitching. A set of 10 basting needles provides quilters with multiple needles, ensuring efficiency during the basting process.
Key Features:
- Length and Thickness: Basting needles are typically longer and slightly thicker than standard sewing needles, allowing them to pass through multiple layers of fabric and batting with ease.
- Flexibility: High-quality basting needles are flexible, enabling maneuverability through the quilt layers without bending or breaking.
- Large Eye: A larger eye accommodates various thread thicknesses, making threading easier and suitable for different basting materials.
