Rese�a del editor: Excerpt from How to Sew: Manual of Hand Sewing, Teaching All Varieties of Hand Stitches Used in Dressmaking

Always buy good quality of needles so that they 'will not bend or break. For white work use long fine needles or half long needles. There are special needles made for millinery and embroidery. Never use a needle that is too large as fine stitches cannot be made with it. No. 8 and 9 are good for ordinary sewing and No. 7 for basting.
