Choose sharp embroidery needles for stitching through closely woven fabric. Match the needle size and eye to your thread and project.
Sharp embroidery needles pierce closely woven fabric cleanly, making them useful for freehand embroidery and other techniques where the needle does not follow pre-existing holes. The live category currently contains Tulip sharp-point embroidery needles.
Match the needle size and eye to your fabric and thread. The eye should hold the thread without crushing it, and the needle should pass through the fabric without leaving an unnecessarily large hole. Work carefully around the sharp point and store needles securely when they are not in use. Check the product page for the included sizes and exact contents.
Use one when your stitches need to pierce closely woven fabric rather than pass through existing holes, as is common in freehand embroidery.
You can, but a blunt tapestry needle is usually preferred for counted fabric because it finds the existing holes without splitting the weave.
Choose a size that passes through your fabric neatly and an eye that carries your thread comfortably. Follow your pattern if it specifies a needle size.
