Handi Quilter Ball Point Longarm Needles (2 Packs)

Handi Quilter Ball Point Longarm Needles are designed specifically for quilting knit fabrics on longarm quilting machines that use the 134 needle system. Sold in a convenient two-pack containing 20 needles total, these needles feature a rounded ball point tip that slides between fabric fibers rather than piercing them, making them the right choice when working with stretchy or knit materials on your longarm frame system.

Key Features

• Ball point tip is designed to pass between knit fabric fibers without damaging or snagging the material.
• Compatible with longarm quilting machines that use the standard 134 needle system.
• Each two-pack contains 20 needles, giving you plenty of replacements on hand for extended quilting sessions.
• The front groove guides thread smoothly to the eye, protecting it as it passes through multiple layers of the quilt sandwich.
• Choosing the correct needle size ensures proper thread protection and stitch formation — size 16 works well for general quilting and average or monofilament threads, size 18 suits thicker threads and tightly woven fabrics such as batiks and metallics, and size 20 is recommended for the heaviest decorative threads.
• Genuine Handi Quilter needles are manufactured to tight tolerances to work reliably with Handi Quilter longarm machines and other compatible 134-system frames.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many needles are included in this listing?

This listing includes two packages of needles, with 10 needles per package, for a total of 20 ball point longarm needles.

What needle system do these needles use?

These needles are made for the standard 134 needle system, which is used by Handi Quilter longarm machines and many other longarm quilting frames.

What size needle should I choose?

Size 16 is a great all-purpose choice for general quilting with average-weight or monofilament thread. Size 18 works well with thicker threads, metallic threads, or tightly woven fabrics like batiks. Size 20 is best suited for the heaviest decorative threads.

Why do I need a ball point needle instead of a regular sharp needle?

A ball point needle has a rounded tip that pushes between the fibers of knit fabric rather than piercing through them. This prevents snags, runs, and fabric damage that can occur when using a sharp needle on stretchy or knit materials.
