A sewing needle is a slender tool used for stitching fabric or other materials together. It typically has a pointed end for piercing the material and a small hole, called an eye, for threading a piece of thread. Sewing needles come in various sizes and types, each designed for specific tasks, such as hand sewing or machine sewing. Sewing needles can be made from different materials, including steel and plastic. They are essential in various crafts, including quilting, embroidery, and garment making. Proper care and storage of sewing needles can prolong their lifespan and ensure effective use in sewing projects.
