Organ Embroidery Titanium Ballpoint Needles offer long-lasting performance on lighter knit fabrics. The titanium coating reduces friction, preventing tip dulling and needle wear — lasting up to five times longer than uncoated needles. Replace after 25-30 hours of actual stitching time. Large Embroidery Eye: The oversized eye prevents thread breakage and fraying. Ideal for 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 pushes knit fibers aside rather than piercing them, preventing small holes and runs that can occur when embroidering stretchy materials. 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
