ROUND POINT
BALL EYE
Applicable to closely women fabrics or where
sewing is over heavy seams. Particularly in
cottons. In sewing, the BalI Eye produces a
hole in the fabric slightly in excess of the
needle blade diameter, thereby raducing
needle heating below that of a needle with
uniform blade diameter.

DOUBLE
GROOVE
The Double Groove needle should be used
only when conditions justify it because it
casts a smaller loop than standard needles
and may introduce skipping. For this reason
looper points should be set close to needle
blade. This needle is used on materials having
a tendency to trap the thread in its desent into
the work which affects the thread takeup or
causes the thread to break at the needle's
eye.

POINT BALL
EYE
Applicable to fabrics which offer high resis-
tance to needle penetration. AIso recom-
mendad in cases where fast timing of the
loopers is necassary. This needle differs from
the 501 type needle only in length from the
eye to the point.

ROCKED
POINT BALL
EYE
Applicable to leather and similar materials
where conventional sharp pointed needles
tend to leave excessive punctures. The split
made by Rockad Point needles in Ieather will
tend to close up after penetration. This needle
permits a higher stitch density than is
possible in leather with a Rournd Point needle.

Applicable to the majority of women fabrics,
knits and other materials of similar con-
sistency. The Long Shank needles have
added stiffness in the blade which petmits the
use of one size smaller needle than would be
normally required. Long Shank needles can
not be used on heavy matatial that would be
panetrated by the tapered portion of the
needle shank.
Applicable to synthetic fabrics, particularly of
the tightly women or tightly knitted types
where the fibers of the materiaI are subject to
demage by conventional sharp pointed
needles. The Long Shank needles of this type
have the advantages stated above for Round
Point Long Shank needles.
