The physical characteristics of the needle itself, the scale for determining the thickness are normally impressed on the shank. There are many types of sewing machine needles from those suitable for stretch fabrics to those for leather and so on. In the case of an embroidery machine we have to pay attention to two interesting values of the thickness and the eye.
The needles are marked with a scale that determines the thickness that goes on average from 60 to 100. A value of 60 represents the thinnest needles while a value of 100 larger ones and this is the value that we would then find impressed on the shank. Naturally, for each yarn or cloth, a specific type of needle is recommended for Embroidery Services in Perth.
Normally a standard embroidery can easily be made on a consistent fabric with a needle 80 which is the most commonly used, whereas we would need to go down to 75 to make lace in order to decrease the diameter of the holes that the machine makes on the water-soluble or vylene support to avoid damaging it.
We still decrease the diameter for the embroidery of the shirt initials (using a thin yarn of title 60 in combination), while we increase the diameter for embroidery on jeans or on very stiff fabrics. The eye is the hole positioned just above the point, within which the yarn is inserted.
It is the point of greatest friction of the needle due to the continuous flow of the thread inside it; for this reason it has a shape designed to minimize rubbing and a variable diameter to be proportioned to the wire title to be used.
A very wide eye for the easy passage of the yarn, just as in the case of the use of lamintato yarn the size of the eye is decisive. Replace the needle after the use of metallic yarns because they often ruin the eye with rubbing.
The Lancia needle used in Embroidery Services Perth deserves a special mention, a particular needle equipped with two side wings that pierce the fabric by distancing the weft and warp threads, creating small holes used in decorative stitches. If the embroidery file is structured taking into account the use of the Lancia needle, the embroidery effect will be very beautiful and traditional.
Always remember to change needles often, especially with the use of special threads, it often happens that a needle that looks new, may have imperfections in the tip that damage the yarn during embroidery by fraying the fiber.
It is a spray can of temporary textile glue, specially formulated to hold the fabric on the plane at the moment of embroidery.
