Round shank needles are specially designed for use in industrial and professional embroidery machines. Unlike flat shank needles used in household sewing and embroidery machines, round shank needles do not have a flattened shank. They are suitable exclusively for machine models from leading manufacturers such as Happy Japan, Tajima, ZSK, Ricoma, and Barudan.
These needles are characterized by high stability and precision and are available in various gauges, tip shapes, and coatings – tailored to different materials and machine embroidery requirements. Round-shank needles ensure a consistent stitch pattern, even at high speeds and with complex patterns.
Please note: Round shank needles are not compatible with household sewing machines. Please check compatibility with your machine model when purchasing.
Round shank needles are used in professional multi-needle embroidery machines such as Ricoma, Happy Japan, or Tajima. Unlike household models with flat shanks (e.g., the Brother PR series), these needles are completely round and require precise alignment when inserting. In this category, you'll find high-quality round shank needles in various gauges and tip shapes—matched to the fabric type, thread, and stitch density. All models are tested, durable, and designed for high stitch speeds. Ideal for clean results on a wide variety of materials.
