needle sizes

Post by carolh »

Hi
I'm very new to cross stitching,(and this site, hi all) now i have a cross stitch quilt, i've bought all the floss i need for it, but i cant find anything about what needles to use, are they suppose to be sharp or blunt, the quilt is stamped and the fabric is 'percale', i'm trying the stamped version to see how i like it, if i get hooked i'll try the count version

thanx carolh :D

if it's a stamped version, try using a sharp needle, because percale is a tight-weave fabric, and not open like aida or evenweave. Happy stitching!
