Because I love to have a variety of needles in order to choose just the right one for my stitchery project, I am offering these Piecemakers fine sewing embroidery needles for you to purchase. These differ slightly from the John James needles that I also have available, in that they are a bit longer and have a bit larger diameter if you prefer a tad sturdier needle to work with. It is really just a matter of preference when it comes to stitching needle choice, which is why I offer both the John James needles and the Piecemakers assorted sizes needles. You may just want to have all three varieties on hand, especially if you are a collector like me!
