Flat Shank Machine Embroidery Needle Types

Diamond Needle carries various flat-shank embroidery needle types to meet your project requirements. Our selection includes round point or ballpoint needles featuring a standard chromium or Perfect Durability titanium finish. The differences between our machine embroidery needle types are:

• Round point vs. Ballpoint: A round or “set” point is standard for sewing needles. They are ideal for tightly woven or soft leather materials, providing a neat penetration point. Ballpoint needles are rounded to maneuver through open-knit yarns without breaking any fibers. These point types are perfect for heavier, looser knits.
• Chromium vs. Perfect Durability (PD) Titanium: Organ Needles' standard finish is chromium, providing strength and resistance with performance features to meet the needs of industrial and domestic machines. The Perfect Durability (PD) titanium finish offers higher wear resistance for demanding fabrics that may cause needles to deteriorate faster.
