A brilliant all purpose needle and is a Janome specific identified with a blue shank. Useful for general sewing as well as machine embroidery and suitable for most types of fine to medium fabric weights, especially synthetics. Its design is unique as it has a pierce point plus a slightly longer than normal thread groove (scarf). This needle will cure skipped stitches and puckering in any problem fabric especially synthetics. Another feature of this needle is an oversized eye to accommodate embroidery thread. It also reduces stress and tension on the top thread and makes threading easier.
