How many needles do I need on an embroidery machine?

Needle count determines how many thread colors can remain loaded before the operator needs to change colors. Machines with fewer needles can work well for simpler designs, while higher needle counts can reduce manual color changes for detailed multi-color designs. Choose according to the designs you normally produce.
