Can I use the same needle for all types of projects?

Ballpoint needles can be used for all types of projects. However, we recommend using sharp point needles on leather, satin or any other fine material. For heavy material, we recommend using an 80/12 needle. On metallic threads, use a 90/14 needle, which has a larger eye that will reduce friction as the thread passes through.
