Embroidery Needle with Blunt Tip No. 18-22 – For Precise and Careful Stitches

Choosing the right embroidery needle is essential for perfect embroidery results. An embroidery needle with a blunt tip in sizes 18-22 is an excellent choice for working with Aida fabric or other woven fabrics. These needles are designed for precise work, preventing fabric damage and ensuring neat, even stitches.

1. What is an Embroidery Needle with a Blunt Tip?

An embroidery needle with a blunt tip has a rounded point that doesn’t cut through the fabric but slides between the threads. This makes it ideal for embroidery on fabrics like Aida fabric or linen, where the threads are tightly woven and prone to damage. The blunt tip allows the needle to glide through the fabric without splitting or catching, resulting in smoother cross-stitch or other embroidery techniques.

2. Embroidery Needle No. 18-22 with Blunt Tip – What Fits Your Project?

• Size 18: This needle is perfect for embroidery on dense fabrics like Aida fabric 11-14 count. It’s ideal when working with thicker threads and larger stitches.

• Size 20: Size 20 is versatile and works well on a variety of fabrics, from Aida fabric 14-18 count to linen. This needle is perfect for medium-density fabrics and fine cross-stitch techniques.

• Size 22: For finer fabrics like Aida fabric 18 count or linen 28 count, size 22 is ideal. It’s the best choice for delicate embroidery projects with one or two strands of thread, making it perfect for detailed designs.

3. Benefits of an Embroidery Needle with Blunt Tip

• Fabric Protection: The blunt tip prevents the needle from piercing through the fabric threads, ensuring the fabric stays intact.

• Easier to Work With: The blunt tip allows the needle to move smoothly through the fabric without the worry of splitting threads.

• Precision: Thanks to the blunt tip, you can work with precision, especially when using cross-stitch or other counted thread techniques.
