What do the numbers mean on my needle package?

The numbers on your needle package indicate the needle size, with the first number being the European size and the second the American size (e.g., 80/12). Higher numbers mean thicker needles suitable for heavier fabrics.

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.
