The purple tip needles are a #14 size needle that prevent skipped stitches in heavy fabrics including knits in ordinary sewing and when embroidering. They feature a ball point tip to prevent fabric thread breakage and a special cobra shaped head to form a proper needle thread loop so that it prevents skipped stitches.
Sometimes you encounter some fabrics which turn out to be a bit of a nightmare to sew. Try these Janome purple tip needles, it's a great "Saver" needle.
