Bohin is a well-known brand for sewing needles, offering a variety of types and sizes to cater to different sewing needs. Here's a breakdown of some of the types of hand sewing needles available in the Bohin range:

1. Patchwork and Quilting Needles: These needles are designed with a short shank and a small, rounded eye, making them suitable for piecing fabrics together in patchwork and quilting projects.

2. Big Eyes Self-Threading Needles: These needles have a larger eye compared to regular needles, making it easier to thread them, especially for those with poor eyesight or dexterity issues.

3. Sharps Needles: Sharps needles are general-purpose needles with a sharp point and a medium length. They are suitable for various types of hand sewing projects, including garment construction and repairs.

4. Embroidery Needles: Embroidery needles typically have a long eye and a sharp point, allowing for easy threading of multiple strands of embroidery floss or thread and smooth stitching through various types of fabric.

5. Applique Needles: Applique needles are similar to sharps needles but have a slightly turned point, making them ideal for applique work where you need to sew close to the edge of fabric pieces.

6. Straw Milliners Needles: These needles are long and flexible with round eyes. They are commonly used in millinery (hat-making) and can also be used for certain types of hand sewing, such as basting and gathering.
