The F580 manual gives one embroidery size. Here is where it says so and what it does not cover.

The embroidery preparation checklist repeats 75/11 (p. 77).

Ordinary sewing
The manual’s separate fabric, thread and needle chart covers regular sewing; it does not replace the embroidery instruction.
Owner questions.
Can I use a 90/14 for a thick appliqué stack?
The manual gives no exception to 75/11 for thick stacks. SCHMETZ makes Embroidery needles in 75/11 and 90/14, but that does not override Brother’s instruction for this machine. Ask Brother support before going outside it.
Does this apply to the F580E?
Not confirmed. Use the manual for your exact model and country.
