A larger embroidery needle for heavier decorative thread
This Madeira Glamour 9453 pack contains five size 100/16 needles for suitable heavier decorative embroidery threads. Madeira's Glamour 12 thread guidance recommends this size and article. Match the needle to both the thread and the fabric, and check that your machine accepts size 100/16 before planning a bold stitched detail.
A single-size pack marked 100/16, intended for suitable decorative-thread work rather than ordinary fine embroidery.

Before you start
- Confirm the required needle format, permitted size and any automatic-threader limits in your machine manual.
- Fit the needle safely and set up the chosen decorative thread according to its guidance.
- Test the actual fabric and backing with an appropriate design, checking stitch formation before increasing the stitched area.
Not a general-purpose cure for metallic-thread breakage. Delicate fabrics and densely stitched designs may not suit a size 100/16 needle or bulky decorative thread.
Good to know
Are these the fine 75/11 embroidery needles?
No. This listing is for the size 100/16 Glamour pack.
Can I use any metallic thread?
Choose the needle according to the particular thread's guidance; finer metallic threads may call for another size or needle type.
