Points of embroider needle

There are six point types commonly used in embroidery needles. The properties of your fabric will determine which point is best suited for your design.

The shape of the needle has little influence on the resistance of the fabric to the penetration of the needle. Ball point needles will not pierce the threads of the material, but are deviated by them into the gaps between the fabric’s threads. The thicker a fabric, the more need for the point to be rounded Don’t forget, round means sharp. Needles with cutting points are only used for sewing leather or similar thick objects, like some caps.

Most textile fabrics can be sewn well with needles having a slightly rounded point. Therefore, the normal needles for textiles are manufactured with a light rounding of the point (*) These needles don’t have a point designation like the others. The SPI point is a very acute round and is sure to penetrate the fabric threads in embroider. The increased danger of cutting the fabrics threads can be overcome by using the smallest possible needle size.

Textile fabrics which are susceptible to damage (knitted material) require the light balled points. SES point is the best choice. Elastic materials with rubber or elastomeric threads mostly require needles with heavy ball points such as the SUK,SKL or SKF which do not penetrate the elastic threads, but push them aside.

You must be careful thought with these needles, if the fabric is one that doesn’t push aside easily, the needle will flex and risk breaking
