C.S. Osborne No. 554-24 24-Inch Round-Point Bolster Needle

C.S. Osborne 554-24 long straight bolster needle.
C.S. Osborne 554-24 long straight bolster needle.

When to choose it

Choose the 554-24 when a long straight route through a bolster or upholstered cushion requires more reach than the twelve-inch tools. Osborne lists a 24-inch single round point at 11 gauge. Measure both the depth of the work and the space you need to move the needle beside it.

If a shorter straight needle reaches and leaves room to handle the end, compare the 504-12. The two choices differ in gauge as well as length. If the back of the cushion cannot be reached to secure a button, compare a documented clasp system instead.
