Quick Overview
How does the sizing of needles work?
The bigger the number of the needle is (for example size 9) the smaller the needle is, the smaller the number of the needle is (for example size 5) the bigger the needle is.Â
Not sure what size needle to use?
The lighter the weight of the fabric, the smaller the needle should be, the heavier the weight of the fabric the bigger the needle should be.Â
My suggestion for when choosing a needle size:Â
Size 9 - 10 is perfect if youâre embroidering with 1 - 2 strands of threadÂ
Size 5 - 8 is perfect if youâre embroidering with 3 - 6 strands
Still not sure? Choose the variety pack that comes with 3 different size needles (size 5, 7, 9)
Needles come in a pack of threeÂ
