Embroidery needles I

When embroidering, there is also a specific needle that should be used for each fabric. Below is an initial overview of embroidery needles:
  • Universal embroidery needle: Standard needle that can be used for most projects and fabrics. It is commercially available in various sizes, whereby size 75 can be used for all common embroideries on normal fabrics. For heavier materials, you can change to size 90.
  • Blue Tip embroidery needle: Like the universal needle, it can be used for all types of embroidery work. The special feature of this needle is the large needle eye.
  • Embroidery needles SES: These differ from the universal sewing machine needle only in the point shape.
Needles from a sewing machine, usually jersey needles, can also be used for embroidery. As they have a medium ball point, they penetrate the fabric well without damaging it too much. They are particularly suitable for loose embroidery on stretchy fabrics. However, there is no special version for this type of needle.
