The needle of system 0854 has a normal round point for working woven and knit fabrics. It is used in Schiffli embroidery machines. Suitable machine classes are found, among others, at Futura (classes CE, CE - 10/ 75-F CCD/2, CE - 10/108-F CCD/2, CE - 15/108-F CCD/2), Zangs (classes 102 - R, 110 TO 111, 113 TO 114, 115 - R) and Saurer Sticksysteme (classes 102, 115, 117, 121).
Thinner needle sizes are used, among others, for standard embroidery on medium-weight fabrics, and the thicker versions for dense embroidery on heavy base fabrics. As embroidery thread, a size No. 60 to No. 30 thread matching the needle size chosen is usually recommended, e.g. Amann Isacord.
