What type of needle is recommended for bead embroidery?
Many people prefer to use the shorter sharps length of needle for bead embroidery because its shorter length makes it less flexible than beading needles, providing better leverage for piercing fabric. However, other beaders prefer to use beading needles, especially if they have grown accustomed to the longer length from using them with offloom beadweaving techniques. Ultimately, personal preference should be your guide.
