Considerando la trama e la densità del tessuto, il tipo di stabilizzatore, e anche il scelta del filo, puoi scegliere un ago che ti aiuterà a realizzare bellissimi ricami.
Così, perché è importante l'ago giusto??
Because it’;È importante quanto scegliere il materiale da ricamo giusto e portare avanti il tuo progetto nel modo giusto! Tutti questi piccoli fattori giocano un ruolo nella creazione di prodotti realizzati professionalmente che vorresti davvero mostrare o regalare.
Ago da ricamo
La parte piatta sulla parte superiore dell'ago è chiamata tibia e viene inserita nella macchina, la cui parte piatta è verso il retro.
Questo è seguito dall'albero, che è la parte rotonda della scanalatura attraverso la quale scorre il filo.
Questo è seguito dalla cruna dell'ago, che è un piccolo foro vicino alla punta dell'ago, o il suo suggerimento, attraverso il quale passa il filo.
Non c'è l'immagine di un piccolo solco chiamato sciarpa, che consente al gancio della macchina di sollevare il filo per cucire.
Differenza tra cucito vs. Ago per macchina da ricamo
A prima vista, gli aghi da cucito e gli aghi da ricamo sembrano molto simili. Ma, se guardi un po' più da vicino, vedrai la differenza. Gli aghi per macchina da cucire possono essere utilizzati per il ricamo a macchina, ma gli aghi da ricamo sono appositamente progettati per il massimo successo nei progetti di ricamo.
Gli aghi da ricamo hanno la cruna lunga, un ampio solco, e una sciarpa speciale per accogliere il filo da ricamo. Il grande occhio riduce l'attrito con il filo, che riduce la rottura e la frammentazione del filo.
The main difference between a needle designed for an embroidery machine and a regular needle for a sewing machine is the size of the eye. Embroidered needles have larger eyes than allow the thread to pass through more easily. The small eye of a regular sewing machine needle can cause friction and snatch the thread if they are used for ricamo a macchina.

Types of Embroidery Needles
When it comes to different types of embroidery needles, you will find chrome-plated needles and titanium-coated needles.
Chrome Plated Steel Needles
This is the most common type of needle material. Infatti, this is the default needle material, so if the needle material is marked on the package, it is chrome. These needles can be used with most sewing and embroidery projects.
Titanium Plated Needles
These needles are of the highest quality. They are stronger, more durable, and less likely to heat up, bend or break during sewing your embroidery machine.
Inoltre, they have a coating that not only makes them last longer but also makes them less likely to fall on the material when you sew. If you are embroidering large designs or using hard or dense materials, poi, under the hand, you may want to use titanium needles.
The SCHMETZ Gold Titanium needle finish is resistant to wear and heat, allowing the needle to slide easily through the adhesive with a slow adhesive construction.
The special Teflon-coated embroidery needles are called anti-glue needles! They are my favorite when I sew using adhesive, self-adhesive stabilizers, or with feasible nets. The needle is also good for embroidering on woven fabrics. This reduces the residue in the thread channel and in the eye.
Machine Embroidery Needle Sizes
sì, like other sewing needles, embroidery needles come in different sizes! When referring to needle size, you refer to the needle’;s width at the point. You will usually find two numbers for size: metric size and US size.
Il 3 most commonly used sizes of machine embroidery needles are 75/11, 80/12, e 90/14 (not for home embroidery machines, but for commercial or multi-needle machines).
Dimensione 75/11 is used for lightweight woven and woven fabrics, 80/12 is better for medium weight fabrics (such as quilts, cotone, and linen), e 90/14 embroidery on heavyweight fabrics. Good for (for example jeans and felt).
Needle Tip Shapes
Three different types of point shapes on machine embroidery needles are Universal, Affilato, and Ballpoint.
1. Veloce
Sharp embroidery needles are the fastest and penetrate deep, woven fabrics. A volte i progetti di copertura idrosolubile richiedono anche un ago affilato per perforare bene.
2. Penna a sfera
Aghi da ricamo con punta a sfera, d'altro canto, hanno una punta rotonda che spinge da un lato le fibre del tessuto invece di forarle e danneggiarle.
A volte è difficile trovare aghi da ricamo affilati e con punta a sfera, quindi potrebbe essere meglio usare un ago da cucito.
3. Universale
Gli aghi da ricamo universali hanno una punta leggermente arrotondata situata tra gli altri due tipi. così, gli aghi universali funzionano bene su tessuti non elastici e tessuti elastici.
A meno che la confezione dell'ago da ricamo non sia specificata diversamente, gli aghi da ricamo a macchina più comuni sono universali.
A meno che il tuo progetto non richieda esplicitamente diversamente (per esempio., filo metallico), inizia con un ago da ricamo universale, che è il tipo più comune.
Scegli il miglior ago per ricamo a macchina
Let’;s go through the process of choosing a needle so you can learn to do it yourself!
1. Select the needle size
Prima di tutto, consider the material which you are going to embroider.
Thick and dense like wool or canvas? Start at 90/14.
Light or medium-weight quilts like cotton? Try 75/11.
Very light and delicate like vile, chiffon, or crepe? Maybe even 70/10 o 65/9.
No idea? 75/11 is a great place to start.
Secondo, check if your thread selection will work with the size of the needle. If it will not adjust the size.
Fili più spessi (small wt numbers) require a thick needle with a large eye. Per 30 wt threads, I like to size up to 80/12.
Thin thread (large wt) works best with thin needles and small eyes. Utilizzando 60 peso del filo? Con questo 70/10 injection, your luck may improve.
infine, make sure the size of your needle will work with your embroidery design.
If sewing a very intricate, detailed design, consider a small, sharp needle that will make small needle holes more accurately.
2. Choose a needlepoint type.
Prima di tutto, think of the fabric that you will embroider.
Most stretched, woven fabrics work well with a ballpoint or universal. Most knitted fabrics work well with universal or sharp needles. This sharp needle may be needed to penetrate very thick, very thick fabrics (denim, tela, vinile).
If any confusion Try a universal embroidery needle first.
If an embroidery needle doesn’;t work with your project, choose a sewing machine needle with a matching point. Per esempio, metal threads and threads that glow in the dark require a top stitch or metal needle.
In genere, when using a sewing needle instead of an embroidery needle, start with the larger size of the sewing needle to ensure that the eye of the needle is large enough to adjust your embroidery thread without friction. Could do
Prossimo, consider choosing your stabilizer. If you are using a water-soluble topping, and the universal needle is not puncturing, you may need a sharp needle.
3. Decide on the coating
Although there is no downside (other than the price) in using specially coated needles all the time, some examples require titanium or gold-coated needles.
I especially like coated needles when I’;m embroidering on very thick, thick fabrics like denim or canvas, especially if I’;m using a sticky, self-adhesive stabilizer.
Other Needle Troubleshooting Advice
- Prima di acquistare, read your user manual to determine if the needle shank will fit your machine. Most homes use embroidery machines that work with ordinary flat shanks, but some commercial machines use round shank needles. Anche, some home embroidery machines recommend not embroidering with needles larger than 90/14.
- Change the needle repeatedly for proper sewing. Thread breakage or poor penetration can be caused by a bent, dim, or pointed needle. Everyone has a different idea about the proper time to change the needle, but I change my mind at least every 10 hours after active sewing.
- Store your needle in its original case or in the appropriate needle storage area if you need to take it out temporarily. That way you can remember what size and type of needle it was and you don’;t have to worry about loosening it up by storing it loosely in a box with others.
Conclusione
I hope you have learned more about machine embroidery needles and how to choose the type and size that will produce the best results for your project.
If you are new to embroidery and you feel overwhelmed, be patient, and practice and you will soon find yourself embroidering like a professional!
The diameter of the needle you choose should always be equal to the width of the thread you will be using. Per esempio, if the needle is too tight, the thread will not pass easily through the work cloth of the needle, which can damage the thread. This often leads to quarrels and terrible blurring.
Although both can be used for machine embroidery, the main difference between embroidery and sewing machine needles is the shape of the eye and the scarf. Machine-embroidered needles have an elongated eye and a specially shaped scarf that suits more delicate embroidery threads and does not allow them to break or ignite.
90/14 –; Suitable for medium weight fabrics, such as lightweight cotton, poliestere, biancheria, and lightweight upholstery fabric. Lightweight fabrics such as silk (chiffon, organza, crepe de chine) will require a smaller needle. The lighter the fabric, the smaller the needle will be needed.
Embroidery needles are usually slightly different from other types of sewing needles: the tip is less sharp, and the eye and the eyelet –; (the small hole for the thread) is slightly larger. Tuttavia, for special purposes, sewing needles are used for embroideries, such as for embroidery on leather or jeans.
Their sharp edges make them perfect for piercing tightly woven ground fabric and their slightly longer eye adjusts to embroidery threads of different weights.
