I have a question as to what kind of needle is best for stretch fabrics. The fabrics will be mostly lycra and stretch velvets. I was in the store and saw needles that said "stretch" on the case.
However, I need clarification because one site I came across said that ball point needles are the best because they slide between the fibers instead of through them. Do "stretch" needles usually have ball points?
This is the site that talks about the points of the needles:
Has anyone had personal experience sewing these fabrics? If so, what kind of needle worked best for you?
Thanks in advance!
