Quilting needle
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-004637
A specialized hand-sewing needle designed for quilting, characterized by its short length and sharp point. The shorter shaft allows for easier manipulation through multiple layers of fabric and batting, while the sharp point penetrates dense materials with minimal effort. These needles are typically available in sizes ranging from 7 to 12, with higher numbers indicating finer needles.
