Size 90/14: Janome Red Tip Sewing Machine Needle (990314000)

Product Overview

• Brand: Janome (exclusive)

• Type: Sharp point sewing machine needle

• Size: 90/14 (medium-heavy duty)

• Pack Size: 5 needles

• Compatibility: Fits all standard household sewing machines (Singer, Brother, Janome, Bernina, Pfaff, Elna, Husqvarna, etc.)

Key Features

• Larger eye → reduces friction and helps prevent thread breakage, especially with metallic or specialty threads.

• Sharp point → pierces woven fabrics cleanly (not for knits/stretch fabrics, since it’s not a ballpoint).

• Extra strength → ideal for embroidery and thicker fabrics where standard universal needles may struggle.

• Easy threading → oversized eye makes threading smoother.

Best Uses

• Embroidery projects (especially with tricky threads like metallics, rayon, or specialty embroidery threads).

• Woven fabrics: cotton, hemp, linen, and similar medium-weight textiles.

• General sewing where a universal needle is recommended—but with the added advantage of the larger eye.

• Heavier fabrics or layers that need a stronger needle than a size 80/12 universal.

• A great “go-to” choice if you want one versatile, durable needle that covers most medium to heavy sewing tasks.
