Embroidery Needles

It is recommended to use a 75/11 home sewing machine needle. However, if the machine is not stitching well when embroidering on heavy weight fabric, please try a 90/14 needle. When embroidering with short stitches, such as small letters, we recommend using a ball point needle for embroidery.

CAUTION

The appropriate fabric, thread and needle combinations are shown in the preceding table. If the combination of the fabric, thread and needle is not correct, particularly when sewing heavy fabrics (such as denim) with thin needles (such as 65/9 to 75/11), the needle may break and cause injury. In addition, the stitching may be uneven or puckered or there may be skipped stitches.
