100 Orange DBXK5 Ball-Point Large Eye Commercial Embroidery Machine Needles -Size 90/14-

Needle System* : DBXK5 (DB-K5) Ball-Point *A needle system is a group of needles made to fit specific sewing machines. All needles in a system are of the same length and shank size, but are of various diameters. Lower size numbers are narrower or thinner needles used for lighter materials. Higher size numbers indicate a needle of thicker diameter, used for heavier materials. Match your needle system to your machine, then the size of the needle to the product you are sewing. This needle is round at the shank and are normally used on commercial embroidery machines. This embroidery needle is designed especially for industrial /commercial embroidery machines such as Tajima, SWF, Barudan, etc. The DBXK5 needle has a one size larger eye than that found in a regular needle. Unlike sewing thread used for general apparel sewing, embroidery threads are "fluffier" and have less tensile strength. A larger needle eye, without increased blade diameter, allows the embroidery thread to pass easily through the needle's eye without fraying or snapping. Will not work on sewing machines that take flat-sided shank needles. Ball-Point (BP) needles are designed to alleviate making holes in knit or loosely woven materials. The cross fibers which constitute the knit or loosely woven materials are relatively far apart as compared to those in tightly woven material. When a needle with a standard "sharp" point encounters one of those fibers in penetrating the fabric, it cuts right through the fiber. This creates a hole in the fabric. The Ball Point needle pushes aside the fiber it encounters in penetration and thereby avoids making a damaging hole in the fabric. ***** All the shipments are sent from New York, USA *****
