Organ Ballpoint Embroidery Needles are designed to protect delicate knit fabrics. The rounded ballpoint tip pushes knit fibers aside rather than piercing them, preventing the small holes and runs that can occur when embroidering stretchy materials. Replace these needles after 5-6 hours of actual stitching time. Large Embroidery Eye: The oversized eye prevents thread breakage and fraying. Works well with 40 weight and heavier embroidery threads, including metallics. Size 75/11: A finer needle size appropriate for light to medium weight knits where a smaller needle hole is preferred. Ballpoint Tip: The rounded tip slides between fibers instead of cutting through them, preserving the stretch and integrity of knit construction. Flat Shank: Designed for home embroidery machines with a flat-sided shank for proper needle orientation. Recommended Fabrics: Light to medium weight knits including t-shirt fabric, pique, jersey, and similar materials. Package Contains: 10 needles
