There are alphabetic designations on the needle that determine the scope of each specific needle, i.e. For which types of tissues it is intended.
Deciphering these values is as follows:
H - Universal needles - the needle's edges are slightly rounded, these needles are suitable for "non-capricious" fabrics, flax, coarse, cotton and others.
H-J (Jeans) - Needles for dense tissues - have a sharper sharpening, as a result, suitable for sewing thick material - jeans, sarge, tarpaulin, etc.
H-M (MicroTex) - Microtex needles - more sharp and thin. Such needles are used for accurate piercing microfiber, thin and density material, cloak fabrics with coated and without, silk, taffeta, etc.
H-S (Stretch) - needles for elastic fabrics - these needles have a special edge, which almost completely eliminates the possibility of passing stitches when stretching seam. The rounded edge spreads the fibers of the fabric without disturbing their structure. Used to sew the knitwear of medium density and synthetic elastic tissues.
H-E (Embroidery) - Embroidery needles - a hole hole in such needle needle, the edge is slightly rounded. In addition, there are special recesses in such needle, which, in combination with the rest of the needle design elements, avoids damage to the material or threads. It is appropriate for decorative embroidery with special embroidered threads.
H-EM - Embroidery needles or sewing with metallized threads. Have a large polished ear and groove to prevent the bundle of metallized threads.
Rooms 80 and 90. No. 80 needles for thin tissues. No. 90 for more dense heavy tissues.
H-Q (Quilting) - needles for quilting - there are special SCOS in such needle, reduced ear and rounded edge to avoid passing stitches and appearing on the tissue of traces from punctures. Usually they are used in decorative lines.
H-suk (jersey) - needles with rounded edges - easily spreads the filaments and loops threads and due to this runs between the threads, except for the damage to the material. Ideal for thick knitwear, jersey and knitted materials.
H-LR, H-LL (LEDER LEATHER) - leather needles with cutting edges - the incision is made at an angle of 45 degrees to the seam direction. The result is a decorative seam, whose stitches have a small slope.
H-O - needle with a blade - designed for decorative decoration of seams, performing measureeks with the help of decorative lines. Needles of this type have a different width of the blades. The blades can be both on one side of the island and both. The use of these needles on the line, where the needle makes punctures several times in the same place, will strengthen the decorative effect.
H-ZWI - double needle - combines two needles combined with one holder. Purpose of such a needle is a decorative finish and performance. Stitching the nose of knitting products (Zig Zag will be formed on the invalion side). Needles have only three sizes (No. 70.80.90) and three types (H, J, E). The distance between the needles is marked on the packaging in millimeters (1.6, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 4.0, 6.0). The higher the number, the wider distance between the needles. The needles 4.0 and 6.0 can only be applied on a straight line.
H-DRI is a triple needle - only two sizes (2.5, 3.0). Working with this type of needles is similar to the needle marking H-ZWI. When working with such a type of needles, use lines designed to work with a double needle. If an incorrect selection of a stitching needle may break and damage the car or cause injury.
Topstitch - Special needles for decorative lines - needle has a big ear and a large groove to decorate thread (it is thicker than the usual in order to be clearly visible on the fabric) easily passed through it. If you need to make a line with fried disintegrating threads, then this needle will be the best choice. Rooms from 80 to 100. For light, medium and heavy tissues.
