Troubleshooting
Needle snagging on delicate fabric
Check the needle point for any microscopic burrs. If a burr is detected, discard the needle as it may permanently damage the fabric fibers.
Thread fraying during stitching
Ensure the needle size is appropriate for your chosen thread thickness. If the thread is too thick for the needle eye, excessive friction will cause fraying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Prym needles, ensure you are selecting the appropriate thread weight for your specific embroidery project. To extend the life of your needles, always store them in a dry, pincushion or needle case to prevent moisture accumulation. Avoid leaving the needle in the fabric for long periods, as body oils and environmental moisture can eventually impact the finish. If you notice any signs of dullness or burrs on the point after extensive use, it is best practice to replace the needle to avoid damaging your textile work.
