These needles have a spring at the top which helps to prevent missing stitches when doing freehand embroidery or thread painting.

General Information On Needles
Sewing Machine needles must be selected according to the fabric being sewn. As a rule, the finer the fabric, the finer the needle and thread. However, bear in mind when decorating fabric this rule can be broken and a heavy thread and needle can be used even when sewing delicate fine fabrics. Leather can also be embroidered and a fine thread and needle can be used. Please be aware sewing machines become dull even though in normal use and should be discarded after one garment has been sewn(we recommend changing your needle after sewing for 5-6 hours). Fabrics made of synthetic fibres will dull needles more quickly than fabrics made of natural fibres. If a needle is slightly damaged, it can cause pulled threads to damage the fabric weave.
