Janome · Red Tip needles

A larger eye for denser embroidery work

Janome Red Tip needles offer a size 90/14 option for thicker fabrics and dense embroidery. Their larger eye is useful when working with suitable decorative or metallic thread. This pack contains five matching needles, so you can replace a worn needle without changing the size or type used for your project.

A single-size five-pack with red identification to distinguish it from Janome Blue and Purple Tip needles.

Choose it for your project

Dense embroidery

Try where closely placed stitches and a heavier fabric call for a size 90/14 needle; match the backing to the design.

Metallic details

The eye accommodates suitable decorative thread. Also check thread delivery and tension, and slow down if the thread needs gentler handling.

Heavier sewing

Follow the fabric and needle chart in your Janome manual rather than choosing solely by the colour of the needle tip.

Before you start

  1. Confirm your machine accepts Red Tip needles and that the fabric and thread suit size 90/14.
  2. Fit a fresh needle with the machine safely stopped and follow the manual's insertion and threading instructions.
  3. Stitch a test using the same fabric, backing and thread; inspect the front and back before continuing.

A larger eye cannot correct every thread break. Check for snagging, unsuitable tension, worn needles and a design that is too dense for the fabric.

Good to know

Is Red Tip the same as Purple Tip?

No. Purple Tip has a different point design aimed at applications including challenging knits and free-motion quilting.

Are finer sizes included?

No. This pack contains five size 90/14 needles; Blue Tip is a separate size 75/11 option.
