Choosing the Right Needles and Threads for Heavy-Duty Multi-Head Embroidery Machines

Key Factors for Needle Selection

Needle Size

Needle Point

1. Different needle points are suitable for different fabric materials and embroidery effects.
2. Ball Point: Suitable for knitted fabrics, terry cloth, and other fabrics that are prone to pilling, reducing fabric damage.
3. Sharp Point: Suitable for woven fabrics, denim, and other dense fabrics, easily piercing the fabric to create clear patterns.
4. Specialty Points: There are also special needle points available for special materials (leather, beads), which need to be selected according to specific embroidery requirements.

Key Factors for Thread Selection

Thread Material

1. Rayon: High luster, good color fastness, suitable for various embroidery.
2. Polyester: Durable, not easy to break, suitable for heavy-duty embroidery and outdoor products.
3. Cotton: Natural material, good breathability, suitable for light fabrics and baby products, but with weaker wear resistance.
4. Metallic: Shiny and eye-catching, often used for special effects embellishment.

Needle and Thread Combination Recommendations

3. Shank Type: Compatible with your embroidery machine needle bar
4. Thread Material: Polyester or other high-strength materials
