What is a titanium needle?
A titanium needle is coated with titanium nitride for durability and heat resistance, making it great for high-speed or embroidery machines. It lasts longer and performs well under intense stitching conditions.
How often should I change my embroidery needle?
You should change your embroidery needle every 6 to 8 hours of sewing or at the start of a new project, especially when working with dense fabrics. Using a fresh needle ensures better stitch quality and prevents fabric damage.
