Can these needles be used for regular sewing AND embroidery? And what is the difference between these and this listing: http://www.amazon.com/Brother-Sasew-M...

Yes, you can use them for both types of sewing. I can only speak about embroidery machine needles in general - they are said to have a larger eye than other needles and a longer/larger thread channel along the needle so there are fewer snags/thread breakages. A brother dealer told me the regular Organ needles have a larger needle eye than other standard sewing machine needles. That is one of the reasons Brother uses this brand of needles to calibrate their machines and recommends them for sewing. They are great needles.

These needles, Clover No. 3-9 Gold Eye Embroidery, can cover many types of different embroidery patterns and material types. The size of the needle depends on the type of material you wish to use. These are perfect for the embroidery cloths I use, even with pre-stamped patterns, counted cross stitch, and free hand patterns that you wish to make as an heirloom or sampler. I have used these many times and have had great satisfaction in the pieces I have worked with including baby quilts, pillowcases and and hand towels for the kitchen and bath. Use them well and have great fun.

This Brother should work great for all your basic & even intermediate sewing needs. I quilt regularly with it, just make sure you use a quilting foot & an appropriate needle for your materials.

HMMMMM..... I use these for just about every sewing/quilting job I have. BUT I'm using fabric, not satin cord or chain. You are concerned that they would crush the chain or cord? They should work great, but try w/ something not important first???

These are for crochet only, but Amazon has some really good books on getting started with knitting, I would recommend that maybe you look into one of these. Since I do not knit, I would not know what needles to recommend. Good luck..

This thread is for sewing machine or hand sewing. It is not for embroidery. I have this and it works good for me.

I'm sure you can use them for your serger. There is only one spool of each color and most servers required 3-4 spools. Also they are smaller than the cones traditionally used for a serger. I use them on my regular sewing machine.

I am assuming you mean sergers, and the answer is no. Sergers need a special heavier thread. I did find these threads to be of quality and I love the colors but you need a different kind, do a search for serger thread.

I love mine and should be fine for threads and I used mine for clipping yarn at a woolen mill. Just use them for that said threads and they will stay scrap for that use......

Yes this thread has a beautiful end result in most all embroidery machines.....Keep in mind to purchase a needle for your machine that has a larger Needle eye then most ...the reason for this is to keep the thread from fraying as you are using it.....some decorative threads tend to be softer and more fragile so as they pull with the tension of the machine they can break off eaisier....ask your favorite Fabric shop for the larger eyed needles....they are actually just as sharp they just have a more elongated eye for the thread......Best of luck with your sewing adventures.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I believe most needles now are universal, for most sewing machines.

It takes a 'normal' sewing needle. I use Schmetz brand #11s for general purpose. There are many reasons for needles breaking. Wrong needle for material or maybe the needle was too tight or too loose. I break needles in my embroidery machine almost weekly!

I went to the Brother-usa.com site & looked under "see all models" and clicked on "bobbins & cassettes" and it says that the 2800 D uses the same bobbins (SA156) as my sewing machine so I would think that the pre-wound bobbins (PWB250) for embroidery work would definitely work for your machine. http://www.brother-usa.com/Homesewing/ModelDetail.aspx?ProductID=NV2800D#.U3JEJPldXng If you have any more questions, the site also has a chat window to ask questions with a rep if you need any other clarification. You can order them from Amazon, Walmart & from Brothermall.com.

Hi Dolly. I think these towels would be ideal for embroidery. They are very similar to the type of towels my grandma embroideried on years ago. They washed up nicely and work well. Hope this helps! Shawn

Not for hand embroidery. Machine embroidery may be okay for small jobs, not enough thread for larger jobs.

Hello! These will stand up to considerable use. I have Stitchberry single tipped bamboo needles and they are much more fragile than these by Ostart. The latter is a lovely darker "polished" wood, not like the Stitchberry that I have to sand on occasion to keep smooth. Even the US 1 is a sturdy set. I live at the beach and store them in a plastic box inside the little plastic sleeves they were shipped in and mine haven't warped at all. I have been delighted with this set of double pointed needles, I use them very often [I don't have a telly so I craft instead]. I wouldn't be able to knit hats and baby things without them. :-)
