About the Needle
The needle is probably the most important part of the machine. Choosing the proper needle for your
embroidering project will result in a beautiful finish and fewer problems. Below are some things to keep
in mind about needles.
• Use needle 75/11 for embroidery.
• It is recommended that a 90/14 needle should be used when embroidering on heavyweight fabrics or
stabilizing products (for example, denim, puffy foam, etc.). A 75/11 needle may bend or break, which could
result in injury.
• The smaller the needle number, the finer the needles. As the numbers increase, the needles get thicker.
• Use fine (thinner) needles for lightweight fabrics, and thicker (larger) needles for heavyweight fabrics.
