Dale (who is my twin in many ways, particularly when it comes to Acid Hands) is talking needles. I can't get the Comments to work on her blog but I am happy to publicly state that I love both Piecemaker and Bohin needles. For me, there is no difference between them except that Piecemakers don't come in as many sizes. You can even get beading needles from Bohin but Piecemakers are limited to tapestry sizes 22, 24, 26 and 28 (plus chenille needles which I like to use for ribbon embroidery). Whoops! Piecemakers has beading needles now (see second link). That makes it even harder to choose a favorite.
