I've been sewing for years, and have learned a lot about needles, but surprise! I didn't know everything. Thank you so much for the lesson. I made a point of sharing this with my FB group "Mr Kenmore's Neighborhood" as we have a lot of newbies that come in with questions, and I think I'm going to use this video as a primer for those not in the know. Excellent information, and thank you so much for sharing it.
First of all, great FB group name! And Thank you very much. I also thought I knew a lot about needles and I was just fact-checking before I made the video and I came across SO much more interesting information and history. I'm really glad you enjoyed it too.
Oh this is absolutely perfect timing! I just got my machine back from being repaired and was thinking about getting some new needles for it, this'll be perfect!
Thank you for watching. I’m glad it was a help. When I was doing a bit of research for the video I couldn’t believe how interesting the history of needles and sewing machines became 🤓
A few months ago i was having trouble with my machine. I asked family, friends and the internet and they gave me all sorts of solutions: using different thread, changing the tension... Well, it turns out I was using a needle meant for wool on the lightest cotton fabric ever! It started working perfectly again when I changed the needle to an appropriate one😅
Thank you so much for this video! I'm a beginner and have been making tote bags with 2 layers of cotton canvas (not duck). I would like to try a top stitching needle for the straps and top hem, but do I have to change out the needle for the other seams?
This is a good question. No, you don't have to - (test on a scrap before you decide ;-) but if you change back to a universal needle your topstitch needle will last longer. The general rule of thumb is that a needle is good for 8 hours of stitching (personally, I stretch that). Also, the topstitch needle has a bigger groove in it to accommodate the thicker topstitch thread so if you're going to use it with all-purpose thread run a test first. The test should be through as many layers of cloth as the majority of your project has. (So, if you sew 2 layers of fabric together as one most seams are 4 layers of fabric (I'm assuming)
The length sounds like a particular needle system is needed. When you say number I'm assuming you mean the needle size (I might be misunderstanding) The number refers to the size and that is the diameter of the needle not the length. So that said, check what needle system your machine uses. Almost all modern domestic machines use the same system and I went to measure my Schmetz brand needles and they are 3cm long - BUT double check your manual for what needle system your machine needs

Thank you. This is so helpful.

yes, this happens a lot. The wrong needle will drive you crazy. I'm glad you figured it out.
Thank you
Thanks for watching the video

@TheDailySew yes, it is four layers - thank you, I will try that!
I need 3cm long needle for my mini sewing machine. Which number would that be please?
The length sounds like a particular needle system is needed. When you say number I'm assuming you mean the needle size (I might be misunderstanding) The number refers to the size and that is the diameter of the needle not the length.
