Hello All, A needle Question

My daughter is doing her Mini 4-H project and it is asking for a "Arts & Crafts Needle #14" I have never heard of them. What are they? Are they similar to a darning needle? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for that link, Beverly! Very informative: I always wanted to know what different needles were used for!

I'd take a bet she needs a chunky tapestry needle - large eye, blunt end

- perfect for beginners!

I she sewing by hand or machine? If by hand, this site has good information on different kinds of needles, including sizes and what each type is best used for:

she's sewing with a machine, both the type of fabric and the size of needle, as well as the brand, will depend on what she is sewing:

4H leader probably should be a little more specific. No need to order online, you probably have a local sewing/fabric store nearby, they will have needles. NAYY,

You're welcome. Every once in a while I have to refresh my memory about obscure details, too.
