Quick Tips

Purple Tip Needles are designed to prevent skipped stitches with heavy fabrics, including knits, while sewing and embroidering. The needle has a ball point tip to prevent fabric thread breakage and a special cobra shaped head to form a proper needle thread loop so that it prevents skipped stitches caused by the fluctuation of the fabric.

Here’s a quick way to tell which color needle you should use for your specific project.

Red Tip Needle – Has a normal tip. Designed for regular sewing on fabrics such as cotton.

Blue Tip Needle – Has a ball point. Designed for sewing on knits and synthetic fabric.

Purple Tip Needle – Has a ball point with a special “cobra” head. Recommended for high density designs and thick fabrics.
