HAND SEWINGNEEDLES
Hand sewing needles:
The higher the needle number, the finer and shorter
the needle. Betweens have the same wire diameter
as the respective no. in sharps but they are approx.
7 mm (1/4”) shorter. Both needle types are available
in packs in single sizes as well as in assorted sizes.
Sharps are our standard
sewing needles, used to
sew anything any way
you like. Many users
prefer sharps because
they are easier to grip.

Betweens are ideal for
professional sewing and
handicraft techniques like
backstitch and appliqué.
They are also the quilter’s
favourites as they facilitate
quick stitching.
Hand sewing needles
• Self-threading needles
• Jersey needles
• Millinery needles
With self-threading
needles the thread is
simply pulled from
above into the split eye.
This needle type was
specially developed
for people who have
difficulty in threading
ordinary needles.
The Jersey sewing needle
is suitable for use on
jersey, stretch, synthetic
and all loosely woven and
knitted fabrics.
The ball point carefully
displaces the fabric threads
instead of piercing them.
Millinery needles are long
with round eyes.
They are not only used
by hat makers but are also
ideally suitable for
smocking and pleating.
Embroidery needles
• Chenille
• Crewel
For fine embroidery we have a special needle known
as a crewel needle. These slender needles with a
somewhat larger eye can take one or more threads
of stranded cotton, e.g. for white linen embroidery.
As they correspond in length and gauge with the sharps
needles, and are also easier to thread, they are often
used as a sewing needle.

Embroidery needles
• Tapestry
• Smyrna
Tapestry needles (with blunt point) are most
suitable for counted thread embroidery on coarse-
weave or even-weave fabrics. For closely woven
fabrics we recommend the use of sharp-pointed
chenille needles.
Both needles have large eyes which are suitable
for thicker thread or wool.
Smyrna needles are thick
embroidery needles with
blunt points and large eyes.
With this needle you can
easily trim carpets and even
make wall hangings.

Sewing, embroidery and darning needles.
For each material application, there is the
optimal point – for normal sewing work the
point is long and especially slender. Leather
requires triangular cutting points. Tapestry
needles with blunt points facilitate embroidery
on coarse-weave fabrics.
