Janome Purple Tip Needle – Accessory of the Month October 2024

 

The purple tip needle is a #90/14 size needle that prevents skipped stitches in heavy fabrics including knits in ordinary sewing and when embroidering. It features a ball point tip* which helps to create neat and tidy stitches.

*The ball point tip is especially useful when sewing knitted fabric and synthetic fabric as it prevents fabric thread breakage.

Uses –
•Embroidery with high density designs and/or thick fabrics
•Use with fluffy threads like cotton
•Quilting through multiple layers
•Normal sewing for shrink fabrics such as knits and tricot or synthetic fabrics such as polyester

BOM October 2024 – Block 17

 

From February 2024 to December 2024, we will be creating Blocks which will assist you in understanding stitches, techniques and accessories. When completed, the blocks will be pieced together then quilted using different techniques. If you do not wish to create the Blocks each month, simply learn the techniques and use them to create or embellish other projects.
