Miscellaneous Sewing Machine Needles

Create shading and texturing by using the Double Eye Needle that is for machines that take the 130H/705 system needles, the most popular universal type needle system.
Note: There is one eye above the other on the same needle, not like a Twin Needle whereby the shank of the needle is divided into two needles, each having an eye, side by side. They do NOT sew a zigzag stitch in most machines since the hook clearance will not catch the upper eye's thread. Use only for straight stitching. The Double Eye Needle has less of a scarf than the regular sewing machine needle, therefore care must be taken to "play" with the tension a little to make sure the stitch is balanced on the bottom. When feeding the thread, two vertical thread stands help to obtain an equally balanced feed tension. Machines vary and you may have to experiment a little until you achieve the desired effect.
Have fun experimenting with shading, texturing and topstitching.

These strong, durable needles work well for machine embroidery with adhesive stabilizers. Needles provide smooth stitching with no thread fraying. They are also excellent for quilting penetrating the batting with ease.
The needles have a coating of Titanium Nitride that is just a few microns thick. This coating greatly decreases abrasion and friction; the result is less heat build up in the needle (important bonus for your thread) and that the point of the needle will last far longer than regular nickel or chromium-plated needles.
