The sewing needle is defined with different parts that make the sewing needle. Every sewing needle manufactured will have these basic parts that define them. Depending on the specification of each part the utility of the sewing needle is determined. In this article we will see the different parts of the sewing needle that are being used for both home sewing and industrial sewing.
A sewing machine needle takes birth from a coil of high grade carbon steel wire. It is made two at a time. The wire is straightened and cut to the length of two. Though the process looks simple, the wire is required to be heated, pressed and then cooled before we actually take it further. After the wire is cooled, the next step involves making points on both the ends of the needles. This is done by using a grinding stone where the needle is turned repeatedly until the point is fine and even. This process was fairly deadly, as there were always particles of jagged steel and stone dust thrown in the air. This was also the point that decided the quality of the needle.
Sewing needle is long slender tool with a pointed tip that is used to pierce an object and carry a thread or cord through the object after the pointed end has pierced it. The thread is attached to the needle by inserting it through a hole at the back of the needle which is called the “eye of the needle.”
