Richard Hemmings Quilting/Between Hand Needles. Size 10. Quilting sewing needles, sometimes referred to as Betweens needles, are a very short and fine needle with a round eye. Traditionally they were used by tailors and professional sewers and today they are most commonly used in the art of quilting.
