Hi all ! Wondering if you change your needle after stitching a mylar design ?? Design was about 12000 stitches and I started with a new needle. Wondering if mylar dulls a needle more than just material ? Thanks !

First of all welcome to Cute. This is a wonderful site with many very knowledgeable people. As to your question - I have Mylar in my stash but have never used it. Hopefully someone else will be able to answer your interesting question. Sarah (South Africa)

I use mylar quite often and treat my needles just the same as normal. Haven't found them getting blunt with it

Mylar does not dull a needle, however if a needle is dull it could leave larger holes. It is similar to water soluble stabilizer in that way.

Welcome to Cute. I'm glad that you are here. Thank you for asking this question. I just assumed it would and had a needle designated for mylar only, but I know see that I can bring it out to play with the rest of the guys. ;)
