Embroidery needles II

Of course, there are also special embroidery needles:
  • Embroidery needles with a longer service life: are provided with a titanium nitride coating for longer durability. The needle is therefore well suited for embroidering leather that is applied to adhesive backing. It has a light ball point and can therefore also be used for sewing stretchy materials.
  • Embroidery needles with non-stick coating: Reduces glue residue on the needle and thus prevents the new thread from being difficult to thread or the thread from simply passing through the fabric. There are anti-glue embroidery needles and super universal needles that can be used both as sewing needles and as embroidery needles. The anti-glue embroidery needle has a normal needle eye, while the super universal needle has an extra-large needle eye.
  • Metallic embroidery needles: Metallic threads cannot usually be worked with normal embroidery needles without problems, as the eye of the needle is not suitable for this. The metallic needles have an extremely large needle eye so that even metallic threads with a flat cross-section fit through. The eye of the needle is approximately 2 mm long for each needle size. The typical needle sizes are 80 and 90.
  • Topstitch needles: This needle is constructed in exactly the same way as the metallic embroidery needle, but the needle size is 70 or 100.
  • Wool embroidery needles: The wool embroidery needle has a pointed needle tip and can therefore penetrate wool more easily. The large eye of the needle and the adapted groove on the front of the needle prevent the thread from unraveling. The size of the needle is suitable for thick thread.
  • Double eye needles: Here the threads lie on top of each other. This needle is therefore well suited for working with two threads at the same time.
