From the grumpy old guy: I hand stitch everything I do, and use #1 harness needles. In my opinion you should use nothing larger than #0 (zero) sized needles. Mike P.S.Needles are sized (from larger to smaller) #00, #0, #1 etc. Edited September 3, 2012 by katsass Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
