When to choose it

Choose this four-needle straight card when the depth of the work varies and you want a round point in several lengths. Osborne lists six, eight, ten and twelve inches on the card. Measure the path through the upholstery first and choose the length that gives you room to handle the needle at the exit.

Compare the K-6 card if the technique specifically calls for a double round point. If the twelve-inch needle is the only size you use, a matching box of one size gives you spares without adding shorter needles you already own.
