ABSTRACT:
A holder for an embroidery needle has an elongated body divided into a forward needle-retaining portion and a rearward handle portion. The retaining portion includes a wall which forms a bed for receiving the handle portion of a needle and a narrow passageway extending forwardly from the bed for receiving the shank of a needle with the needle tip protruding from the forward end of the retaining portion. The bed has longitudinally spaced transverse grooves for receiving the projecting rim of a needle handle to prevent longitudinal movement of the needle relative to the holder. The groove selected for seating the rim determines the extent to which the needle tip projects from the forward end of the holder. The wall of the retaining portion is open along one side to provide access for inserting the needle into the bed and passageway. A cap slides over the retaining portion to enclose the bed and passageway and thereby retain the needle in its selected groove.
