for sweatshirt fleece.

Stretch

A Stretch needle has a more rounded point than a Ballpoint, and a blue

anti-cling coating which helps to prevent skipped stitches in knits and

elastic. Sometimes used on Ultrasuede, vinyl, and plastic.

A compromise between a Sharp and a Ballpoint; used on both wovens

and knits.

work. Available in Universal, Stretch, Jeans, Metallica, and Embroidery

Three needles attached to one shank. Used to create mock smocking and

other decorative effects

Thin, tapered point eliminates potential damage to fabric when seaming

used through the eye.

manufactured fibers such as polyester, acrylic, and nylon.
