A long upholstery needle is typically characterized by its extended length and robust build. Unlike regular sewing needles, upholstery needles are designed specifically for working with thick fabrics, multiple layers, and padding materials often found in furniture upholstery. The length of these needles allows for better reach into deep seams and tough-to-reach areas. They also come with a tapered point, making it easier to penetrate heavier materials without causing damage.
