An incorrect needle size and eye can cause anything from a perforated 'teabag' effect around the stitching, to fabric puckering and thread breaks. Experiments have been undertaken to establish the most important features necessary in a needle to ensure good embroidery. The result is the stainless steel Madeira large eye needle, for use on any multihead embroidery and industrial Monogram machine. The Madeira needle is based on the DBxK5 type needle.
