C.S. Osborne No. 508 3-Inch Bent-Pack Needles, 12 Pack
When to choose it
Choose the three-inch No. 508 when the stitching method calls for a diamond point at a bent end. The bend is concentrated near the tip, which distinguishes this profile from a curved round-point needle. At three inches, Osborne lists a 14-gauge shaft.
Check the direction in which the tip must approach the material. Compare a fully curved needle if the stitch has to follow a broader arc around a seam. Osborne offers longer bent-pack sizes with different gauges, so check both measurements if you need more reach.
