Question: What's the difference between a universal needle 90/14 and a embroidery needle 90/14? It may be a silly question for some of you but I will like to know if there is any diference,thanks

I always use embroidery needles for machine embroidery. I think they are designed differently at the points, and that the thread passes through the eye more smoothly.

The embroidery needles I bought from Viking Store were larger than regular and my machine did not want to sew with them. Now I have 4 packs I can't use! Hahaha! Hugs, Judy

Universal Needle
A general purpose needle that can be used on knit or woven fabrics. A casual sewer who might repair a pair of jeans today, a child’s t-shirt tomorrow, and some lingerie next month will probably use this needle most often. It will do a number of tasks sufficiently. It has a long scarf that is great for zigzag stitching and it does not damage knits. It is sharp enough to go through a lot of fabrics but it does have a slight ball point which does not make it ideal for going through many layers or high thread count fabrics. This needle comes in a wide range of sizes from size 60 to size 120.
Embroidery needle
For use with rayon and other specialty machine embroidery threads including polyesters. The special scarf, long smooth groove, and large eye, of this needle protect these more fragile threads and guard against excess friction. These needles come in size 75 and 90. The beautiful sheen of these threads results in outstanding embroidery work. Check the size of the thread and use the appropriate size needle for each thread — remember the finer the thread, the smaller size needle that should be used.

Speaking of needles, I have trouble seeing the eye and found these needles to be great!!www.spiraleyeneedles.com/Needles. These have an eye that you can't miss. And you are buying American. They work great for me and I made little needle holders and embroidered the size on the outside of each little holder.Stella
