I was trained to use betweens for most sewing - they're shorter

I'll admit that I do very little hand sewing, but...
I'm completely on-board with betweens. They're great for doing
running stitch; since they're shorter there's less drag from the
needle. I've been working my way through a big pack of vintage
betweens with flat-ground eyes (much like suture needle eyes) and
I'll be very disappointed when I get to the last one and have to
start using new ones.
