Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
We know that, P=FA, where P is the pressure, A is the surface area and is the force exerted on it.
We can see that pressure is inversely proportional to area. As the area of the tip of the sewing needle is much less, it exerts a large pressure on the cloth being stitched. Due to this large pressure, the cloth can be pierced easily by the needle, and the stitching of clothes becomes easier.
