Commercial Stitching For industrial sewing machines that employ the DBX1 or 16X231 needle system, ballpoint needles are made specifically for those machines. The ballpoint needle tip is perfect for sewing jersey, spandex, and other stretchy textiles since it is made to sew through knit fabrics without rupturing or harming the fibers.The needle size is indicated by the size 55/6. The needle gets thicker as the number increases and gets thinner as the number decreases. Silk, rayon, and cotton are examples of lightweight to medium-weight fabrics that work well with a size 55/6 needle. To prevent causing damage to the fabric or skipped stitches, it is crucial to choose the right needle size for the cloth you are sewing.
