Machine Needles

Machine needles are specially designed needles used in sewing machines for stitching fabric. They come in different sizes and types, each suited for specific sewing tasks.

Types of Machine Needles

1. Universal Needles: These needles are versatile and suitable for sewing most woven and knit fabrics.

2. Ballpoint Needles: Ideal for sewing knit fabrics as they have a rounded tip that slides between the knit stitches instead of piercing them.

3. Stretch Needles: Designed for sewing stretchy fabrics like spandex and elastic. They prevent skipped stitches and produce even stitches.

4. Denim Needles: Heavy-duty needles specifically created for stitching through thick fabrics like denim, canvas, and leather.

5. Leather Needles: With a cutting point and triangular shape, these needles are meant for sewing leather and suede.
