The three main types of needles used on a domestic machine:
- Universal needles have a slightly rounded tip, and this general purpose needle should be used on woven fabrics as well as some sturdy knits.
- Jersey needles have a medium ballpoint tip designed especially for knit fabrics because it slips between the fabric fibers and does not break or damage them while sewing.
- Stretch needles, often confused with Jersey needles, are also a medium ballpoint tip, but these have a special eye and scarf that are designed for extremely stretchy fabrics and elastics. Swimwear is an ideal application for this typw of needle.
