I purchased these (http://www.createforless.com/Dritz+Hand+Needles+Sewing+Plastic+Blunt+Tip+2pc/pid216210.aspx) Dritz Hand Needles, and they are too blunt to feed through the fabric & felt (the embroidery project we're beginning with). I see that you recommend tapestry needles, and I've looked at them online, and there are tapestry needles in sizes ranging from 16-28. Could you make a recommendation of where to start?

I taught the my 7 and 9 year old to cross stitch this year, and I feel like we are in a Jane Austen movie when I find myself sitting with them with our needle work ;) (we are all novices by the way! hehehe)<br /><br />I was actually doing embroidery today with a 4 year old at pre-school and I got her to write her name, and I traced it on to a piece of fabric and dotted the area to sew (it was her first time). She was able to finish her "A" and that was fantastic! <br /><br />Often when we do embroidery with young children I bring out the beads that they can thread on as the sew...not sure if that is technically ok...but the kids love it!Meekshttp://www.jugglingmotherhood.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777506989220366832.post-72049503225449365732010-01-13T00:19:03.923-05:002010-01-13T00:19:03.923-05:00I too equate embroidery with love.
