Ballpoint needles are with with a ball end point. The ball parts the fibres/threads of the fabric you are stitching rather than piercing them as a conventional needle would. They are ideal for knitted or Jersey fabrics, using a standard needle on these fabrics will cause missed stitches and curling.
The needles are flat on one side of the shank, and are compatible with the majority of modern domestic sewing machines like Janome, New Home, Brother, Singer, Toyota, Husqvarna, Elna, Bernina, Jones, Fister Rossman, Pfaff, Silver etc. Please check your machines manual before buying to make sure.
