The needle of system DBXK5 has a normal round point for working woven and knit fabrics. It is used in industrial embroidery machines. Suitable machine classes are found, among others, at Brother (classes BAS, BAS -401, BAS -410, BAS -411), Tajima (classes MLHII, TEHX, TEJT, TFGN) and ZSK (classes 169, 172 to 175, 201 to 224, J).
Thinner needle sizes are used, among others, for fine embroidery on light fabrics, and the thicker versions for dense embroidery on heavy fabrics such as denim, terry cloth or caps. As embroidery thread, a size No. 60 to No. 30 thread matching the needle size chosen is usually recommended, e.g. Amann Isacord.
