1.
Look for barbed or blunt point.
2.
A damaged needle can cause permanent snags or runs in knits, fine silks
and silk-like fabrics.
Always buy a good quality thread. It should resist tangling and be strong,
smooth and consistent in thickness.
Replacement Kenmora needles are available at your nearest Sears stores.
