FAQs

Can these needles be used with a sewing machine?

No, these are strictly hand-sewing needles and should not be used in a sewing machine.

What is the difference between the included sizes?

The sizes 8, 9, and 10 refer to the thickness of the needle. Size 8 is the thickest, and Size 10 is the finest.

Are these needles rust-resistant?

Yes, they are crafted from nickel-plated carbon steel, which is designed to resist rust and corrosion with proper care.

Does the set come with a needle threader?

No, the set includes the needles, a glass storage jar, and a size guide; a needle threader is not included.

Can I store other sewing supplies in the glass jar?

Yes, once the needles are used, the jar can be used to store other small sewing notions like pins or buttons.

Troubleshooting

Needle is difficult to pull through thick fabric layers.

Ensure you are using the correct size; if the fabric is very thick, try using the size 8 needle from the set.

Needle thread keeps slipping out of the eye.

Use a needle threader to ensure the thread is pulled through sufficiently or consider using a slightly thicker thread type.

Needle surface feels sticky or catches on fabric.

Wipe the needle with a dry, clean cloth to remove any accumulated oils or fabric debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Hemline Gold Quilting Hand Needles in peak condition, always return them to the glass storage jar immediately after use to prevent corrosion or loss. Keep the needle size guide inside the jar for easy reference. When not in use, ensure the brushed gold lid is tightly closed to keep the environment dust-free. These needles are compatible with all standard quilting threads and natural or synthetic fabrics typically used in sewing projects. Wipe with a dry, soft cloth occasionally to maintain the shine of the nickel plating.
