The point is the first part of the needle to penetrate the material. The right needle point is essential for a good sewing result. During sewing and embroidering, the thread slides through the eye of the needle several times at high speed. It is therefore important to choose the right needle to-thread ratio: the thread should pass smoothly and snugly through the eye of the needle. For fine fabrics, it is recommended to use a straight stitch needle plate and a straight stitch foot.
