C.S. Osborne No. 513 2½-Inch Light Curved Cord Needles

When to choose it
Choose this No. 513 when you need the cord-light round-point profile in a 2½-inch curve. Osborne lists it at 19 gauge. Compare the working arc against the room around the seam, particularly when a larger needle would be awkward to turn near a frame edge.
Osborne also lists a two-inch No. 513 with the same gauge. That gives you a way to change the arc size without changing the listed gauge. The selected 2½-inch package repeats one size for a seam or process you already know.
