Universal Needle –
noun
- A standard sewing machine needle commonly used to sew on a variety of fabrics including many woven fabric weights.
The universal needle is used for general sewing on knits and woven textile projects. The needle point consists of a slightly rounded tip similar to a ballpoint needle and is available in an assortment of sizes. The beauty of the universal sewing needle is that it pierces the fabric while sewing. This is different than the ballpoint needle. The ballpoint gently separates the fibers and is perfect for knits.
This needle is extremely helpful when sewing straight stitches on garments or craft projects and will quickly become your “go to” needle for everyday sewing.
