Ball-point sewing needles for sewing jersey/stretchy fabrics have an exceptionally-rounded, spherical tip. It is especially recommended that they are used in finely-woven, knitted, warp-knitted, and stretchy material. This special tip pushes apart the respective webbing threads when inserted into the fabric and does not splice it. As a result, fabric damage caused by stitching holes, thread pullers, or ladders can be effectively prevented. These needles are made of hardened steel and have a burr-free embossed eye.
