The Embroidery Column


What size of needle should you use


Most embroidery thread is size 40 or 120. The most common size needle used for this embroidery thread is size 75/11. However, as the needle system DBxK5 has an eye two sizes larger than normal, you can drop down to size 65 if needed without the thread snagging or catching in the groove of the needle. For heavy items you can go up to size 90 needle which will prevent deflection and breakage. Schmetz embroidery needles are great for use with rayon, polyester and other specialty embroidery threads. The special scarf widened groove and enlarged eye protect fragile threads and guard against excess friction allowing trouble-free embroidery and decorative stitching.


The 130/705 H is the needle system used by nearly all home sewing machines. 130/705 refers to a needle with a flat shank. The H refers to a German word, Hohlkehle, which translates to scarf.
