Organ Titanium Embroidery Sharp Point Needles

Organ Embroidery Needles are slightly different in profile from the Schmetz or Bernina needles we recommend for our Bernina Machines.  

The eye of the embroidery needle is one size larger than the shaft size. For example, a size 80/12 needle has an eye that is the size of a 90/14 needle.  This small shaft keeps the needle hole small in the fabric, but the larger eye accommodates the larger size of the embroidery thread, preventing your thread from shredding.

While BERNINA generally recommends ballpoint needles for most embroidery, sharp needles are preferred for tightly woven or delicate fabrics where precise penetration is important. They (and Quilt Direct) ask that you switch back to the regular 130/705 setting for “regular” sewing or when using the decorative stitches on your machine.

Titanium Needles have a coating that strengthens both the shaft and tip of the needle; this coating also reduces friction as the needle moves up and down at speed.  Although Titanium Needles are more costly, they will last an average of 5 times longer than regular needles. They are perfect for heavier fabrics, where extra strength ensures clean stitch formation without bending.
