Specialist ‘Purple’ Machine Needles

Super great for stopping skipped stitches. Ideal for use when stitching through multiple layers, thick fabrics and denim.

Using the correct needles for every different sewing application makes all the difference to your sewing.

Suitable for:  Singer, Brother, Janome, Frister & Rossmann, Bernina, Pfaff, Elna, Janome, Husqvarna, and all other household sewing machine brands.

Janome Purple Tip Sewing Machine Needles are ball point  needles so are especially good for sewing knits & synthetic fabrics . Like the Sewing Machine Needles by Janome | Blue Tip Size 11 / 75 – CW Fabrics, Purple Tip Sewing Machine Needles prevent flagging due to the special design. (Flagging occurs when the needle does not pierce the fabric adequately and then drags the fabric downwards towards the bobbin area.) However, the purple tip needle is a larger needle than the blue tip needle – the purple tip is a size 14. Not only does it have a ball point, but it also has a cobra head. 

The cobra head needle has tiny wing needle spines or protrusions just above the eye on either side of the needle.  These protrusions force the fibers of the fabric apart  to allow the stitch to form properly & more easily leading to less or no skipped stitches.

The purple tip needle is also recommended for high density embroidery designs as it has less resistance to the fabric & thread build-up resulting better quality embroidery and less thread breakage.

Used for sewing thick fabric and denim.
