What is the difference between needles for stretch fabrics and universal needles?

Needles for stretch fabrics, such as jersey or stretch needles, have a special rounded tip that ensures that they do not pierce the fibers of stretch fabrics, but gently push them aside. This prevents skipped stitches and runs. Universal needles have a sharper tip that is suitable for woven fabrics such as cotton, but does not always give the best results with stretchy fabrics.
