The embroidery needles used for our embroidered T-shirts
Precision, strength and respect for the fabric: it all starts with the invisible tool
At Maison Plumarius , we make it a point of honor to master every detail of the manufacture of our embroidered T-shirts in France .
Among these often invisible but essential details: the choice of embroidery needles .
Yes, even the needle is important. Because to guarantee precise, regular, durable and fabric-friendly embroidery , you need to use the right tools, adapted to the right pattern .
🧵 Professional needles, suitable for every pattern
We use professional embroidery needles , designed for the precision machines used in high-end textile workshops. Each type of design , each stitch technique , and even each thread used may require a specific needle .
It is this level of finesse and adaptation that allows for the creation of crisp embroidery, without thread breakage or fabric damage.
🔬 The technical characteristics of our needles
✅ An anti-wear protective coating
The needles we use have a special coating , often chrome or titanium, which allows them to resist wear even after hundreds of punctures per minute.
👉 This coating extends the life of the needle, and above all, it protects the fabric : no snags, no tears, no pulled threads.
✅ An eye suitable for embroidery threads
The eye is the opening through which the thread passes. In our needles, it is widened and rounded to allow thick, shiny, sometimes textured embroidery threads to pass through, without compressing or fraying them.
👉 This guarantees a smooth passage of the thread, without excessive tension, and above all without breakage or breakage , even during long embroidery sequences.
✅ A groove optimized for fluidity
The groove on the needle body plays a fundamental role in thread sliding . Our needles are designed with a wide and smooth groove , which guides the thread stably throughout the cycle.
👉 This allows for a regular rendering , without skipped stitches, without irregularities, with a homogeneous visual of the embroidered pattern.
✅ A medium ballpoint tip to protect the fabric
Finally, our needles are equipped with a medium ballpoint . Unlike sharp points, the ballpoint spreads the fibers of the fabric without cutting them .
👉 Result: no perforation , no tearing , and a T-shirt that retains all its strength , even after thousands of embroidery stitches.
👕 Why this care is essential for an embroidered T-shirt
1. Respect for the fabric
Our T-shirts are made of 100% organic cotton, 240g/m² , a dense, soft and breathable fabric. A bad needle could damage this precious material.
This is why the choice of needle is as important as the choice of thread or stabilizer.
2. Durability of embroidery
An improperly fitted, poorly calibrated, or poor quality needle can cause thread breaks , uneven stitches , or embroidery that comes off in the wash .
Our needles ensure that the design holds perfectly , wash after wash, so that each Maison Plumarius embroidered T-shirt lasts for years , without compromise.
3. High-end visual rendering
Regular stitches, clean outlines, smooth gradients: this is what makes the difference between high-end hand-crafted embroidery... and basic, quick, approximate embroidery.
Our needles contribute to this with every stitch.
🧠 Technical know-how at the service of craftsmanship
Our embroidery partners, with over 20 years of experience , carefully select each needle according to:
- the type of thread (rayon, polyester, metallic, etc.)
- of the density of the fabric
- the size and complexity of the pattern
- and even the type of machine used
It is this invisible expertise that guarantees the level of quality we demand .
