Organ Ballpoint Embroidery Needles are specifically designed for knit fabrics. The rounded ballpoint tip gently 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 90/14: A larger needle size appropriate for heavy weight knit fabrics. Ballpoint Tip: The rounded tip slides between fibers instead of cutting through them, protecting the integrity of knit construction. Flat Shank: Designed for home embroidery machines with a flat-sided shank for proper needle orientation. Recommended Fabrics: Heavy weight knits including velour, heavy fleece, sweater knits, and similar materials. Package Contains: 10 needles
