The DBxK5 LGR needle for 3D embroidery

Whether on clothing, home textiles or accessories – embroidery is used to decorate all kinds of fabrics with sewn-on or sewn-in threads. In addition to classic methods, modern embroidery machines now also enable a wide range of other embroidery techniques, including elaborate 3D embroidery. This usually requires additional mechanical equipment. The DBxK5 LGR needle was developed precisely for this purpose: It is ideal for embroidery using thick foam materials and, thanks to its extended thread groove, ensures enhanced thread protection – even with demanding designs.

DBxK5 LGR – The needle for enhanced thread protection in 3D embroidery

Just an image 3D embroidery is a special type of embroidery that uses a foam material – also referred to as "puff foam" – to create a three-dimensional effect. During the embroidery process, the needle enters deeply into the foam, putting significant strain on the embroidery thread. The new Groz-Beckert DBxK5 LGR needle was specifically developed for 3D embroidery. It provides optimal protection for the embroidery thread and helps prevent thread breakage and skipped stitches.
