Which of the following statements most accurately describes the structural characteristics and functional relationship between the needle's Blade and Eye in the stitch-forming process?
- 1The Blade functions as a graduated sloping zone to reduce fabric resistance, while the Eye is a small spool mechanism used for holding the lower thread for lockstitch formation.
- 2The Blade is the elongated working shaft that determines the needle's strength and flexibility, while the Eye is the hole near the point that carries the upper thread through the fabric.✓
- 3The Blade serves as the terminal top end for mechanical alignment, while the Eye acts as a long channel that shields the thread from friction during fabric penetration.
- 4The Blade is the thick upper portion held by the needle clamp to ensure stability, while the Eye is the small indentation that allows the shuttle hook to catch the thread loop.
Correct answer
The Blade is the elongated working shaft that determines the needle's strength and flexibility, while the Eye is the hole near the point that carries the upper thread through the fabric.
