For scrappy beads I used a regular medium sharp for the sewing thread and a medium embroidery/crewel for the embellishment. I opt for a long, thin eye to keep that end of the needle a similar thickness to the thread. If the eye is too small, the thread won’t go through easily enough. Too large, it canleave a big hole OR, weirdly enough, it can be difficult to pull through the layers of fabric.
