+ | ===== Stretch Needle ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Similar to the ballpoint, intended for fabrics with a high amount of give to prevent skipping and snagging. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Denim Needle ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | A needle with a thicker shaft and sharper point to help penetrate thick, dense layers of denim. Thinner needles will bend or break under the strain and are not recommended. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Microtex / Sharp ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Thinner and more delicate that the average needle, for very fine fabrics like organza or chiffon. This needle won't punch visible holes in expensive delicate fabrics. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Leather Needle ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Similar thickness to a denim needle, this needle also has a sharp triangular blade for a tip, designed for punching through non-woven fabrics like leather and polyvinyl. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Self Threading ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | A needle with a cut in the threading hole designed to be easier to thread. You will never need this. | ||
