The reason I use a BP needle on knits is that it will roll over a fiber instead of cutting it like a sharp needle will. I have seen t-shirts actually "run" like a nylon stocking after being embroidered from a sharp needle. You wouldn't have that problem with fleece however. I guess my suggestion comes from years of sewing before the embroidery world and that is the way I was taught from a tailor. I certainly understand Wendy's point on using a sharp needle on small lettering also. Isn't this business interesting---LOL Sharon ----- Original Message ----- From: Itchin To Stitch To: amayausers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, November 18, 2005 12:08 PM Subject: [amayausers] Re: (No Date: Fri, 18 Nov 2005 12:30:47 -0600 I agree to a degree with Sharon. In this case use a 75/11 BP. I don't always use a BP on tees or sweatshirts when I do lettering, sometimes a sharp will do a better job. Just my opinion.
