I have another video entitled: Needlepointing, movement, colour and form. I might suggest you watch that since it has a voice over and I explain my technique.
Hi, Kathryn. Thank you for the needle painting demonstration-can’t get enough of it lately! May I ask why you choose a crewel needle vs. an embroidery needle? Is it simply a matter of personal preference? Thank you.
Hi, Karen I'm not sure what needle you refer to as an 'embroidery' needle. A 'crewel' needle is the generic term for a needle with a long eye and a fine body. There are several sizes ranging from # 7 to # 10, the #7 having the larger eye and thicker body. # 10 is very fine, eye and body. I use this one when working with DMC floss (1 strand) and flat silk. Rule of thumb is: the thicker the thread, and/or the thicker the ground fabric, the larger the needle. All crewel needles have a very sharp point. Other needle types are: Chenille, sharps, tapestry, milliner, beading... each has a its separate function. I hope this helps.
@@kathrynborel4872 your explanation is helpful. I always thought the crewel needle was for heavy weight threads and embroidery needles for finer threads. Thanks again!

I wish you were explaining what your doing as your demonstrating the technique.
