Needles

Texas Specialties stocks Organ and Schmetz brand needles for all embroidery applications.  Please know your size when ordering so that you receive the proper needles.  Please note that industrial needles are sold in boxes of 100.  When ordering please specify the number of boxes, not the number of needles.

Sharp- The point of the needle is sharp and offers more of a cutting action than a ball point needle.  Sharps are more commonly used for woven fabrics.  The point of a sharp needle makes it easier for the needle to penetrate the tighter construction of a woven fabric.  This places less stress on the needle, thus reducing needle deflection, therefore, reducing broken needles.

Ball Point – Designed to alleviate holes in knits or loosely woven materials by pushing aside fibers.

DBXK5 – One size larger eye than standard without increased blade diameter, creates less fraying and fewer thread breaks.

DBx7ST – Rectangular shaped eye designed for metallic thread use.

Other needle brands are also available upon request.  Call for price and delivery.


 

Embroidery Scissors

For anyone who enjoys embroidery, embroidery scissors are a must have part of your equipment.  As you are finishing each section or a section of stitches, it is necessary to trim threads closely and accurately.  This means embroidery scissors must have sharp tips that will quickly trim thread as close to the embroidery canvas as possible.  Embroidery scissors are extremely helpful.  They come in several varieties and you can pick the ones that best fit your hands, style, and cutting needs.  The simplest embroidery scissors are short scissors with sharp tips, and these can be used in many different sewing applications.  They will easily fit within most medium sized to large hoops for close cutting.

Embroidery scissors are used for light work that entails close detail.  The blades are slim and sharp with fine, precise points.
