A ballpoint needle is a type of sewing machine needle with a rounded tip, designed for use on knits and stretch fabrics. The rounded tip helps the needle part the fabric threads rather than cutting them, reducing the likelihood of snags or runs in the fabric.

What kind of needles can you use on a Kenmore sewing machine?

You can use standard sewing machine needles, including universal, ballpoint, and sharps needles, on a Kenmore sewing machine. The specific needle size and type will depend on the fabric you are working with; for example, ballpoint needles are ideal for knits, while sharp needles work well with woven fabrics. Always ensure that the needle shank fits the machine's needle holder properly. Additionally, it's best to refer to the machine's manual for any specific recommendations regarding needle types.


Why does your ballpoint needle not make a good stitch in your knits?

A ballpoint needle is designed to push the fibers of knit fabrics apart rather than piercing them, which can lead to skipped stitches or uneven seams. While it works well with stretchy fabrics, the rounded tip may not penetrate the stitches cleanly, resulting in a lack of tension and a less secure stitch. For knits, a stretch or jersey needle is often recommended, as it has a slightly rounded tip that can navigate the fibers more effectively while maintaining stitch integrity.
