Description
The Hemstitch Needle, also known as a sword or wing needle, is used for decorative stitches, broderie anglaise and white embroidery in loosely woven fabrics such as linen. When sewing, holes are created in the seam, acting as a decorative element. Hemstitch seams can therefore be sewn easily with the sewing machine, even without having to remove the threads in the woven fabric beforehand like you do when sewing by hand. This traditional hemstitch effect is achieved by the “wings” on both sides of the needle’s blade, which gently push the threads in the woven fabric to the side. The sewing thread supports this effect because it prevents the threads in the woven fabric from returning to their original position.
- Give simple blouses a special effect along the buttonhole placket.
- Stitch particularly accented seams with 40 Wt. viscose (rayon) or multi-color threads.
- Create embroidery motifs on your embroidery machine.
- Conjure up decorative effects when attaching lace.
- Prevent seam puckering on soft/light fabrics by using spray starch or a non-permanent stabilizer such as tear-off embroidery backing or water-soluble or heat-sensitive embroidery film.
The best effects are achieved in loosely woven fabrics, such as: Linen, Batiste, Cotton and Flag cloth
