Diane of CraftyPod has a new article up on CraftStylish that explains the basics on hand-sewing needles where she describes each needle type and which needles to use for your particular sewing project.
Diane writes:
Sooner or later, most crafters pick up a needle–whether to stitch an applique, embroider a design, bead or needlepoint, or mend a torn bag. Using the right needle for a project makes the stitching so much easier.
