Klasse Quilting Needles are designed with a special taper to the point to prevent damage to the fabric in any quilting or patchwork project. The quilting needle features an ultra-sharp point ideal for piercing and quilting layers of cotton fabrics with batting. Also features a strengthened tapered shaft that helps to reduce needle deflections as the needle penetrates multiple layers of fabric. Use this needle type for piecing, quilting, and stippling.
