MANUFACTURING COMPANIES? GIVE THE LIST OF THE NEEDLE TYPES MANUFACTURED BY
GROZ & BECKERT.
Needle Points
Needles are manuIactured with a wide variety oI needle points appropriate Ior the diIIerent
properties oI materials which have to be sewn. The needle point can be located wither centrally
or eccentrically. There are two basic classes oI points:
O #ound points
O utting points

$lim $et Point Needles can be penetrate the yarns oI the material being sewn through its sharp
point and is ideal Ior all woven Iabrics because it helps to produce an even stitch and causes a
minimum oI Iabric puckering. They are used Ior Blind stitches and Ior Iine, densely woven
Iabrics. These points are not suitable Ior knitted Iabrics.
$et Cloth Point needles are slightly rounded to displace yarns oI the material being sewn
without damaging them. This is most commonly used point.
Heavy $et Point needles are strongly blunted. These are used Ior button sewing machines.
Ball Points Light Ball Point is used Ior sensitive Iabrics such as knits, to prevent damage to the
loops. This is crucial Ior maintaining the Iabric`s elasticity. Medium ball point and heavy ball
point are used Ior Iabrics containing stretchable yarns. While sewing the threads are displaced
not pierced. The needle pushes between the Iabric yarns rather than 'cutting rough the yards.
Cutting Points are used Ior sewing leather, coated or laminated Iabrics. These are classiIied
and named according to the position oI the cutting edge and its shape. The shapes are named
with regard to the Iorm oI the cutting edge Ior example spear point, triangular point, diamond
point etc. The shape oI this needle will create a slit (rather than a large hole) through which the
thread will pass.

"uestion- 12. What care you will take while placing the order of the
needle?

Answer-
Sewing machine needles should be chosen according to the weight and texture of
the fabric to be sewn.
While placing the order, will take care of these points.

1) The most readily available machine needles are sized from 9 to 18 - the smaller the
number, the smaller the needle. This remains true, even if the needles we purchase use
a different numbering system.

2) We should Use standard sharp sewing machine needles in sizes 11 to 14 for most
sewing projects. A smaller-sized needle is best for sheer or lightweight fabrics. Sizes 16
to 18 are used for heavyweight fabrics like denim.

3) We should Use ball-point machine needles to sew knits or other stretchy fabrics. Their
blunt edges allow the thread to pass between the fabric's fibers rather than through
them. This is crucial for maintaining the fabric's elasticity.

4) We should Use wedge-point machine needles to sew leathers, suedes and vinyls. The
shape of this needle will create a slit (rather than a large hole) through which the thread
will pass.

5) if am unsure which is appropriate for our fabric. will Purchase a package of assorted
needle sizes.

6) will Test the various sizes on some scrap fabric until determine the correct size to use.

7) will Check the label on the needle package before make a purchase. For most brands,
there will be a sizing guide that will tell us which fabrics can be sewn with the enclosed
needles.

8) will Refer to my sewing machine manual to determine which needles are compatible
with my machine model.

9) will Write down the make and model of my sewing machine and take this information
with me when purchase needles. That way 'll be able to check for needle compatibility.

10) Both ball-point and wedge-point needles are sized in the same manner as the standard
variety - the higher the size number, the larger the needle.

11) We should Use sewing machine needles for most sergers and Check our serger manual,
however, to make sure that a special needle is not required.

the neeule-thieau as it passes thiough the fabiic.
ut in case of uense oi iesistant mateiials being stitcheu it is sometimes auvisable to use a
neeule in which the qrooveis lonqer tbon usuol onJ is extenJeJ spirolly JownworJ to tbe
