C.S. Osborne No. 501X Extra-Light Curved Needles, 2-Inch, 12 Pack
When to choose it
Choose this 21-gauge round point when a short, fine curve fits the work around the seam. The two-inch size is measured across the entire curved needle, which is the space to consider when turning it beside a cushion edge. The selected pack provides a dozen needles in the same size.
If you need more room inside the arc, the 501X is offered in longer sizes, and the gauge changes with size. Compare the specified gauge before you assume that a longer 501X keeps this same 21-gauge build. For a heavier round point, compare Osborne’s No. 501 line.

Questions about this product
Will the three-inch 501X have the same gauge?
Osborne lists the two-inch needle at 21 gauge and the three-inch at 19 gauge. Compare both length and gauge.
When is a longer straight needle more relevant?
When you need the thread to cross the upholstery and emerge at the back, measure that path and compare a straight needle.
Does this pack give me a range of arcs?
The selected pack repeats the two-inch size. Choose an assortment when the work needs several sizes.
