Size 22 Piecemakers Tapestry Needles. A blunt point needle for cross stitch, needlepoint, silk ribbon embroidery, and embroidery on open meshed materials. 1 1/2" long. From Piecemakers. Twelve cards per box, six needles per card. In search of a better needle, the Piecemakers folks decided to have them made to their own specifications. They claim clean eyes, easy to thread, sturdy and strong, and ‘go through fabric like a hot knife slides through butter.’
