FAQs

What are ball point needles used for?

Ball point needles are designed to prevent damage to knit fabrics and yarns by slipping between the fibers rather than piercing them.

What sizes are available?

The Hemline Ball Point Hand Sewing Needles are available in sizes 5-10.

How many needles come in a pack?

There are 10 needles per pack.

Can these needles be used on all types of fabrics?

While they are excellent for knits and yarns, they may not be the best choice for all fabric types. For tightly woven fabrics, a sharp needle may be more suitable.

How do I choose the correct needle size?

Select the needle size based on the weight and thickness of your fabric and yarn. Experiment to find what works best.

How should I store these needles?

Store the needles in a needle case or pin cushion to protect them from damage.

How do I know when to replace a needle?

Replace the needle if it becomes dull, bent, or if it starts snagging the fabric.

Troubleshooting

Needle is bending or breaking

Ensure you are using the correct needle size for the fabric and thread/yarn. Avoid pulling the needle through the fabric with excessive force.

Needle is snagging the fabric

Check if the needle size is appropriate for the fabric. If the problem persists, the needle may be damaged and need replacing.
