DBxK5 Chrome: The needle system DB x K5 has been specially designed for use in embroidery machines. Its use reduces skipped stitches and thread breakage, helps protect thread and material and ensures secure loop pick-up. Thanks to its special geometry, needle system DB x K5 displays higher resistance to deflection than other needle systems used in embroidery and stands up better to the high demands made by embroidery machines. The larger eye of the DB x K5 delivers further benefits by protecting thread and material, thus leading to less thread breakage and secure loop pick-up.
Ball Point: Ball point machine embroidery needles are designed to alleviate making holes in knit or loosely woven materials. The cross fibers which constitute the knit or loosely woven materials are relatively far apart as compared to those in tightly woven materials. When an embroidery needle with a standard "set" or "sharp" point encounters one of those fibers in penetrating the fabric, it cuts right through the fiber. This creates a hole in the fabric. The ball point needle pushes aside the fiber it encounters in penetration and thereby avoids making a damaging hole in the fabric. (It is also recommended to use the thinnest possible needle for a particular fabric)
Here’s what that means for you:
- Groz‑Beckert has begun adding a new chromium coating to selected needles, applied through a specialized coating process.
- This enhancement provides an even smoother surface and longer running performance.
- You’ll experience less wear on fabric, supporting higher‑quality embroidery results.
- The needle shank now has a slightly darker appearance, making these needles easier to identify at a glance.
