If you are struggling to force your needle through the multiple layers of your appliqué, especially if you use fusible webbing, then Appli-bond Needles are for you! They have triangular points – that is, instead of being a rounded needle there are three flat facets that slice easily through layers of fabric. The grip is still comfortably rounded, and the eye is manageably large. I use them for everything...especially hand sewing on tough fabrics like denim. And be warned, they really do slice through the fabric ‘like a hot knife through butter’...so make sure you take up more than one thread when stitching finely, and take care that you do not use any sawing actions or you may cut the fabric or your thread...or yourself!! A final word - unlike most other needles that I have brutally forced through multiple layers, I have not yet had one of these quality needles break. Julia
