They are hard, long, slender, and have sharp tips so that even delicate fabrics such as silk can be sewn smoothly without snagging. When sewing straight seams by hand without using a sewing machine, Japanese needles are suitable.\u003cbr\u003e\nAs a general rule, use thicker needles for thick fabrics and thinner needles for thin fabrics.\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen choosing a needle, the thickness should match the fabric, but beginners are recommended to start with two basic types: “long thick needles” and “short thin needles.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e≪Cotton Needles≫\u003cbr\u003e\nMain use: Wool (felt) and heavy cotton fabrics (denim, pile).\u003cbr\u003e\nA specialized type with a groove (thread groove) added to Large Basting to allow smoother penetration through the fabric.\u003cbr\u003e\n*“Grooved Large Basting” has a small groove below the eye of the needle that reduces friction when piercing the fabric, allowing smoother sewing of thick materials than the regular Large Basting needle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e[Contents]\u003cbr\u003e\n25 pieces\u003cbr\u003e\n[Size]\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 0.84mm \/ Length 51.5mm\u003cbr\u003e\n[Materials]\u003cbr\u003e\n steel (nickel-plated)\u003cbr\u003e\nCountry of origin: Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clover","offers":[{"title":"204.Grooved Large Basting","offer_id":52076043370789,"sku":"3-002-cl12-204-204","price":5.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/2380\/8805\/files\/3-002-cl12-204_01.jpg?v=1773473145","url":"https:\/\/nomura-tailor.com\/ar\/products\/3-002-cl12-204","provider":"Nomura Tailor Online Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
