Groz-Beckert Needles 251LG Used in most US Blindstitch and Lewis sewing machines.
Standard needle with ball point for knitting and elastic materials. Within certain limits blindstitch needles are also produced and offered with ball points. However, such needles cannot be employed to produce a true blindstitch. The more function of a ball point simply impedes the separation of fibres from the fabric which is imperative in the production of a blindstitch. Consequences like skipping of stitches, or alternatively, throghstitching cannot be avoided with ball point needles. Nevertheless, this effect is utilized quite often in the confection if knitted apparel, like in the hemming of cuffs on pullovers. Ball point needles are used to produce "throughstitches" deliberately in order to achieve durable and washable seams. The stitches are hardly distinguishable since in such applications they usually fall in line with the loop-line of the fabric.
