Took a minute away from stitching towels to put a frog on my denim jacket. Much harder on my fingers but worth it.

@NorcalGma2 How is the stitch called? It has a nice finish  Also, do you use an embroidery needle?

This is a running stitch. I am using a heavy duty sharp needle for the denim. I do use embroidery needles for stitching dish towels. To stitch the denim I have to use a thimble.

@NorcalGma2 @perri Small, thin tapestry needles will slip through denim (and other thick but not tightly woven cloth) like it's not there. Sharp ones get stuck and are hard to push trough. I'm not even sure why those are the most used/best known/recommended ones?

I have used tapestry needles in the past. I have done some upholstery work where they came in handy. I have never seen thin ones. I've mostly used the curved needles. I will look into getting some though. Thanks.

@NorcalGma2 Got some kit from AliExpress with them, size 26. Thin enough to bead with. Ordered a handful since, they are absolutely game changing. I use them for almost everything now. Don't seem to find this tiny size in EU though.
