Long, thin beading needles range in size from 10 to 15. Beading needles are used to add seed beads and embellishments to Cross Stitch designs because tapestry needles are usually too large.

When choosing beading needles, look for the ones with the largest eye if you will be using embroidery floss to attach the beads.

Take care not to use excessive force when pulling the floss through the bead or fabric or the eye of the beading needle may break.
