Frequently Asked Questions

What are ELx705 needles used for?

ELx705 needles are specifically designed for sergers and coverstitch machines. They have a second groove and a slightly longer scarf to help create chain-style stitches (like overlock and coverhem) without skipping, which is a common issue with standard needles in these specialty machines.

What is the difference between Jersey and Super Stretch needles?

Both are types of ball point needles designed for knits. Jersey needles have a standard ball point for general knit fabrics. Super Stretch needles have a special shank design and a more rounded point, making them the ideal choice for highly elastic fabrics like Lycra, spandex, and performance athletic wear, as they are even more effective at preventing skipped stitches.

When should I use an Anti-Glue needle?

Anti-Glue needles have a specialized non-stick coating (similar to Teflon). They are essential when working with anything sticky, such as peel-and-stick stabilizers, adhesive sprays, vinyl, or Velcro. This coating prevents adhesive from building up on the needle, which would otherwise cause skipped stitches and thread breakage. They are a must-have item in your embroidery supplies.

Which Organ needle is best for embroidery, especially on a multi-needle machine?

Organ’s standard “Embroidery” needles are perfect for most projects. They feature a light ball point and a larger eye to protect decorative embroidery threads from shredding. For metallic threads, choose the “Metallic” needle, which has an even larger, polished eye. The Anti-Glue needle is also invaluable for embroidery when using sticky-back stabilizers.

What is a Microtex needle?

A Microtex, or sharp, needle has a very fine, sharp point. It is designed for creating perfectly straight stitches on delicate or fine, tightly-woven fabrics like silk, microfiber, and batiks. The sharp point pierces the fabric cleanly without pushing or pulling the fibers, which can cause puckering. It’s a great tool to have alongside your favorite scissors and rotary cutters for precision work.
