An excellent needle for machine embroidery with all polyester and rayon embroidery
threads. This should be the only needle you require for nearly all your embroidering!
These needles have a special scarf (the groove in the back) and a somewhat larger
eye than regular needles, both of which help to prevent thread breakage when used
at high speed in home embroidery machines.
Size 75/11 is suitable for most embroidery on light to medium weight fabrics; use
a larger size 90/14 needle when sewing heavier fabrics such as a heavy knit or fleece.
If you're embroidering with metallic thread, we recommend the Schmetz Metallica
needle (see below.)
Available in sizes 75/11, 90/14 or as an assortment which contains
3 size 75/11 and 2 size 90/14.
5 needles per package.
Simply the best needle available for use with Robison-Anton Metallic
embroidery threads!
Has both a larger eye for easier threading and a larger scarf (the groove in the
back of the needle) to accommodate the larger size of metallic threads and prevent
thread breakage.
We recommend these needles for use with all
Robison-Anton Metallic embroidery threads.
5 needles per package, size 80/12.
Heavy-duty needle for perfectly straight stitches in dense fabric such as denim
and imitation leather. Quilters use this needle for sewing through many layers of
fabric, especially high thread-count batiks.
5 needles per package, size 80/12.
An economical, high-quality needle suitable for all general purpose sewing of most
woven and knit material. Can also be used for embroidery on most fabrics; however,
if thread breakage becomes a problem, use the Schmetz Embroidery needles instead.

Specially designed for machine quilting, these needles have a special tapered point

fabrics used in quilting.
