So I asked a question about Twin Needles and Eastwitch2 (I hope I remembered your name correctly) mentioned Wing Needles..WELL, that makes me think...I have never used a Wing Needle either! Thanks Eastwitch2...now Cuties this poses another question for me...can you tell me everything I ever wanted to know about Wing needle usage and have been afraid to ask? I know that they punch little holes in the fabric...that sounds scary...are there any fabrics that Wing Needles shouldn't be used on? Another request for Cutie Help! Thanks in advance...

I mainly use it on linen with or fabrics that look like linen, it gives nice seams. Never tred it on anything else.

Thanks for your comments. I guess I will just "be brave" and experiment a bit.

I chose the star design (*) that is built in my machine and used the wing needle to sew it on a very inexpensive T-shirt, just followed the neckline and then on the sleeves. Turned out very nicely.

Thanks...didn't know I had to use a special stitch design with the wing needle. I'll give it a try!

I have had all these needles for a while and must admit that I have not used them to degree to comment on practically. All i can say is try them and give us ,newbies a rundown on their performance. Kay

I have often used jersey twin needles for T shirt hems
For the wing needle I found these links for you.
