Choosing the Right Embroidery Needles
Selecting the correct needle is crucial for achieving the best results in machine embroidery. Here’s a guide to help you choose the right needle for your project based on the expert recommendations from the Madeira Needle Guide.
Anatomy of a Needle
Understanding the parts of a needle helps in choosing the right one:
Shank: Fits into the sewing machine, available in round or flat-sided shapes.
Shoulder: The tapered section between the shank and shaft, allowing smooth penetration through fabric.
Scarf: An indentation above the needle eye, aiding in thread looping.
Eye: The hole through which the thread passes, with larger eyes preferred for embroidery.
Tip: The point of the needle, available as sharp or ballpoint, suitable for different fabric types.
Key Elements in Choosing the Correct Needle
Needle Size:
