From the Sailrite site:

"We have found that some home machines work better in heavy fabrics if the
tips of the needles are slightly blunted and, so, these needles have what
are called all purpose, modified ball points."

So are you saying all needles are made like this?

These are just standard needles. Nothing special about them.

Yea, what Glen said. I would add that Sailrite makes canvas needles for
regular machines. I've used these successfully on a regular home machine
on
light to medium canvas stuff.

You can by them at most anyplace that sells needles.
