Great video! You made it so clear and now i know the difference between the types of needles!
Awesome! Thank you!
Everything you recommended for Juki TL series. of machine is spot on. The thread, the extra bobbin case for different thread thickness and that pin point machine oiler have made my sewing experiences very easy and enjoyable. The needle does make a huge impact on that happy free sewing day. Customer service on your part is above and beyond. Thank you.
Ive struggled with needles for my Juki. Thanks for making it clear. 90/14 it is!
You are so welcome!
Now I know! Thank you for putting together this video! I think I finally understand how important needles are and what I need to get the most pleasurable sewing experience instead of frustrating skipped stitches and broken needles and blaming my machine when it was simply the wrong needle.
One of the most thoughtful and valuable videos on sewing I have watched so far. Game changer...👍🙂
Thank you that is very kind of you to say. Our goal number goal is to educate our customers to make their sewing easier. Have a beautiful day! Gigi
The most interesting things that I learned was having so many needles to work with different fabrics and threads. I am so excited to hear!
You are so welcome!
I sew everything from Wedding gowns to luggage and this video has provided so much information. I WANT THIS BOOK!!
Here it is gigisfabricshop.live/products/schmetz-needle-pocket-bible?variant=6304 :)
My fave needles are microtex 80/12 for quilt piecing and smaller bag projects, and a topstitch 90/14 for quilting and thicker bag layers.
BOKI! You are a life saver! I have been trying to FMQ some lace appliqués to my daughter’s prom dress. It is a white stretch knit, I’m using clear thread, and I was having NO LUCK. I was not getting skipped stitches. I was getting NO stitches. I had resigned myself to the LONG task of hand stitching 🤦🏼♀️ Then I saw your video. OMGEEEEEEE! I was using a ball point needle because it’s knit fabric. I just tried a top stitch needle and SUCCESS! Thank you so much for this video and all your amazing tips.
This was so enlightening
I learned that the recommended size is 90/14 as I usually use 80/12! Thank you!
It really depends on your thread.
I have a new TL 2010Q and super excited! I have learned SO MUCH from your channel and have joined the FB group too. Thank you so much for all of your education content. It's especially helpful for people like me that have learned to sew on my own. This is helping me connect (much later) with my grandmother's who sewed a lot but my mom did not. I think of my grandmother's a lot when I sew🥰
Hello! I hope you are having a happy day! I was working and filming in my sewing room all day and now I get to sit and watch you while I repair my blue jeans. I hope you have a great and creative week ahead. Thanks for sharing this video and your talent.
Well......I learned I've been using the wrong needle to do my piecing! Which would explain my frustration! 🤣 I've saved this video for reference on which needles to use, so much great info! Thank you for sharing!
So glad I found your channel. I have a Juki HZL-F400. Ive had this machine for about 3 years but never had anyone to ask questions or help with troubleshooting. After watching quite a few of your episodes, I feel more confident. I definitely did not understand the needle choices and numbers. You made it a lot clearer. Will always refer back to your channel if I have a question.
Welcome aboard!
Thank you so so much for this video it was a great help.
You are so welcome!
Great video, who knew there were so many needles!
It was interesting how the bottom number is the important one. It was great to find out which needle should be used for each type of fabric. Thank you
I had no idea about sizes and types of needles. Now I understand. Well, I understand more anyway. I will be getting an assortment of needles now AND I will know what to do with them! YAY!!
Glad it was helpful!
I was so intrigued by the video of the different needles. I didn't even know about the top stitch or the vinyl needles for use with webbing! Definitely going to purchase these for sure... the needle book is super awesome!!! Thank you for such a very informative video!
I'm so glad!
The Schmetz brochure is fantastic. I bought bulk needles (100 qty #80 microtex my fav for quilt piecing) from them, and they shipped the brochure. Understanding the metrics of the needle (all the parts) and its marriage with thread/fabric will help a sewist ensure that the needle, thread and fabric are working harmoniously. Too often folks want to avoid learning the objective attributes, and then complain that the machine is at fault. Often it is user error (and I have raised my hand on this, too). Take the time to learn the attributes so that you can make informed decisions for your project. More importantly, when things go wrong, you know which variables to control to get the results you want. Also, most thread manufacturers will provide needle guidance for the thread you are purchasing. There are also many online guides showing same.
Super informative and helpful. I’ve bought needles and just guessed at what I needed because I could never figure it out. Now I have a much better idea what I need. Thank you!!
Sizes I didn't know existed!
Thank you so much! That was very informative. One of the several things I learned is which needles I need to consider for an upcoming project on my new Juki Junkies TL18 using cork and waxed canvas. You guys are the best, in front of the camera and behind the scenes, thanks
I too have a new JUKI TL180. Still unsure as to the best thread for bags, vinyl layers, cork etc.
Thanks, Boki, for the overview of the needles … I am saving this video to my “Juki Junkies” video file. So helpful, as are all the other videos you do.
Wealth of information, Boki, I always learn something new each week by watching JukiJunkies video. Thank you Boki, David for these great videos , I look forward to it each week!
Happy to hear that!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
What I learned new today … that there is a needle for Metallic thread. Super to know.
The topstitch needle! I had no idea they existed and now I need them 😃
Thank you so much Boki! This was much needed information for me as I continue to explore the possibilities of my new Haruka ❤️ Your explanation was very concise!
I had no idea there were so many different needles. I did not know about the chrome needle but going to buy some and going to definitely use the 80/12 for fabric piecing.
I've been in the textiles industry since 1979 , under garments, shirts, pants, and now home decor, working as machine mechanic.
I have always wanted to know about how the needles for topstitch works. I need to try them out. Thanks for this very informative video!
The top and bottom sizing was helpful.
Very informative tutorial! I didn’t realize that machines have a size limit on needles! Guess I never needed to know!
Glad it was helpful!
Mahalo for such great instruction! I learned so much
I especially loved how you directed about each needle and it’s use. Before this video I didn’t understand what the two numbers mean and what needle to use. Now at work i see why the needle keept breaking with canvas!!! Thank you thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, I learned so much! Now I better understand how needle size and shape affects the outcome of sewing!
Top stitching needle interesting!
VERY!
I have been trying to
I am new to Juki Junkies as I just bought at TL2010. I learned that I can experiment with other needles as I've stuck to the size 12 needle. But in bag making I really should move to the size 14. Thank you for all you very informative videos
Love the video! One of my Juki 2010 doesn’t like the chrome needles. Always use the 80/12 for fabric piecing.
WINNER! Mona pls provide me your email so I can get some information to send you a needle book!!!
Thank you for this thorough video! I have learned so much from your videos to help me get more out of my DX7 and TL-18. I’m excited to try a 90/14 or 100/16 topstitch needle in my next bag project to help avoid skipped stitches. Although I may continue to use a 90/14 or 80/12 sharp needle for the construction of the bag. Please keep the tips coming!
Great to hear!
I really love the way this girl explain everything! Clear, concise, and right to the point.
Just in this video she moves her hand too much 😂 for me to see carefully the needle sizes and packages. But left my like!!
Thank you! 😃 We make better videos now :) With better editing we will remaster this video :)
I need to buy some needles for quilt piecing and binding and quilting (free motion and walking foot). Still a bit overwhelming but exciting too (just got the TL18)! Bye bye Janome plastic bobbin case issues!!!
Waiting in anticipation for my juki 2010q to arrive this week from juki junkies and let me tell you something, Boki and the crew have been so kind and helpful. They are very knowledgeable so, if you are in the market for a sewing machine then please check them out. 😀
Thank You!!
@@JukiJunkies your very welcome
extremely helpful, thank you.
Glad to hear it!
Didn't know about topstitch needles! They def sound like a game changer
Thank you for the great video! I always learn something from them. Today I learned I need to try the topstitch needle for quilting.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for sharing this with me. Succinct and helpful.
Love the video - really helped decide which one to get. Thank you!
Mention my name when checking out and I’ll throw an extra treat. Gigi
Thank You! Great video! I will be trying the Topstitch needles.
Thank you again for another very informative RUclips- love these! Boki does a phenomenal job and is so clear and concise with her info! QUESTION: my Juki TL18 came with Organ needles- was wondering why you recommend Schmetz over the Organ needles (does Juki recommend Organ?) ?
Its the same needle system; we like the way that Schmetz organizes their needles and have found better results with them. :)
I did t know the 80/12 was bad for quilting! And the book is not on my wishlist!
Thank you so much for all your wonderful videos! I have learned so much from them! Question for you -- what needle would you recommend using when stitching t-shirt quilts together (t-shirts with ironed-on interfacing) ?
Top stitch 90/14
Didn’t realize that Schmetz was most recommended for JUKI!
Great information. Thanks for sharing.
I would like to have the book on the needle. It would helpful to me.
Thank you
I learned there is a such thing as a metallic thread needle!! 😮
Didn't know about those topstitch needles for bag making which is strictly what the tl2010q is going to be used for, well back to juki junkies app I 🚶♀️
Will you talk about a schmetz spring needle, I just found out about it, where you take off the foot and use the spring needle for free motion.
Great. ,presentation, the eyes of the needle are the same size as the shank , needle size 100 / 16 eye is same, threads shall pass freely through the eye , problem if threads are larger.
WINNER! Paul pls provide me your email so I can get some information to send you a needle book!!!
I think I was slightly confused. Can any needle that I use on my everyday machine (Singer) be used on the TL18 (Schmetz). I've looked through the manual and HAZ needles came with it. I understand the flat side is to the side, but I thought that meant there was a special needle that had to be used. My daughter bought me the machine and your tutorials are excellent. I just don't want to order more needles if what I have is already usable. Thank you all!
How about the industrial needles for the juki sumato, I thought I was going to learn about seeing the HD9 in the background there that uses the industrial needles as well
Which needle is better for free motion in juki
Thank you for all the needle info! What is the quilt pattern behind you? So cute
Its out of stock sadly
Its out of stock :/
Where can I find the pattern for that wall hanging with the bees? In the background ?
Thank you for this info! I have the Juki 2020PE. Please correct me if I’m wrong…I can use the Universal or Microtex needles even though they recommend using the HAx1 or HAx5…they are interchangeable/same thing?
I have a Juki TL-15. I was free motion quilting a t-shirt quilt this week using Essentials 50wt thread, and it kept shreading and breaking. I was using an HAX1 11 14 needle, which came with the machine, then switched to a HAx1 11/80 needle. In researching this problem, they indicated that the eye of the needle was too small. Any ideas?
when do you use a topstitch needle when quilting? Know you said 90/14 for free motion quilting. Most of my sewing is piecing and quilting. Thanks for the videos. Very helpful.
Top stitching needles are used for when you're finishing off the quilt... the final steps of the quilt.
Many thread manufacturers also provide guidance on needles choices.
For the JUKI TL 2010 Q it states to use only needle types HAx1 or HLx5 on the machine itself, and these are hard to find, do you carry these types in the sizes you stated?
I believe that is HAx1 is the Organ needle brand designation for the same type of needles Boki is showing, the 130/795 H that SCHMETZ uses. I use all SCHMETZ all the time with my 2010. The HLx5 is also an Organ designation, that is a slightly different needle design for higher speed machines like the 2010. I would imagine if you are running it at really high speeds they might be a better choice. You can find them online, I’ve seen them on Amazon, sewing machine parts online, those kinds of places.
Yes jukijunkies.com/?s=needles&post_type=product
@@TheEliza422 Organ Needles are high quality, but they suffer from having inscrutable descriptors (v. Schmetz). Superior Threads has some great thread/needle education in addition to the great stuff here.
I have a Juki air thread serger. What needles do I use on those and how often do I need to change the needle???
After every big project
I learned I NEED to get those top stitching needle. My 2010 deserves the best. Right? RIGHT?
Yes!!
So do u use a knit needle for knits like silky knits or ITY knits, but a Jersey needle for knits such as boucle knit n sweater knits? Thank u
Informative video..Suggestion.. you talk super fast and in run on sentences...slowing down a bit would help those viewers who may have auditory processing issues..
Ohhh yes!! I am 1 of those people . I have to run the CC when I watch and even then I have to stop and replay bc she talks very quickly and therefor the CC is also moving real quick
Totally agree, just slow down a little bit
You can also click on the settings gear icon and slow the playback speed down that will even include the audio as well
It is usually on the top right corner of the video screen
@@dcwatashi it's not a playback issue.. changing the playback settings can distort the cadence of natural speech ..so if you know anything about auditory processing issues that's not something you want to do. They just simply need to Slow Down and Adjust their narration as if their audience has no idea what they are talking about
@@UsernameUnkwn21 Yes I’m very well-versed in audio and video but even slowing the playback speed just a little bit would help especially if they cannot turn on close caption.
Also I have noticed that some of these videos offer a transcript but I can’t remember if this one provided that in the description box
Thanks so much for this video as Iearned that I need to become a needle disciplinarian (change them out more often)☺️You didn’t mention oil cloth. Would I use the same as vinyl?
Microtex needles 90/14 should be your best option.
We’re can I by the book of
The needle. Tanks

Recommendation for twin needles?
Do all these types and sizes work with the automatic needle threader?
yes
yes
Do the jersey and stretch needles work well with Güttermann Maraflex thread?
I didn’t realise that the vinyl needles were coated and non-stick, so I will definitely try them to see if they help stop some of the funky stitching I sometimes get with my DX7.
I watched this closely, even took notes, but somehow still find the size thing an issue. I think it's a math block, but I do extensive beadwork and I have a clear understanding of beading needle sizes. Does a size 10 beading needle have ANY relation to a size 10 sewing machine needle?? I made like note cards and stored my machine needles accordingly, but that sort of a size comparison would click in my mixed up old sewing lady mind...thx!!
It's not a math block, but likely an apples and oranges block. There are many online resources (including this channel) that help with the metrics of sewing needles +thread choice + application. Best to understand the metrics of each application to understand if it is an apple, orange, or grapefruit comparison. (I say this as someone who does NO handwork)
Cane I use a4mm twin needle in my juki Kirei
Is Jukie Junkies going to participate in any upcoming quilt shows?
One day :) We have been to busy to leave the warehouse...
Thanks for the video! What size thread should I used with a sharp or quilting 90/14 needle?
I prefer jukijunkies.com/product-category/threads/glide-thread/glide-40w-thread/
Thank you. Question. Since this is a poly thread is it ok to use with cotton quilts? I’ve been told that over time the poly will sort of saw through the cotton. I know you guys have some cotton thread and I want to buy some but for now I just bought some glide. What’s your thought on I swing Poly thread with cotton material and batting?
So, are 75/11 quilting needles good for just piecing?
Thank you for this info? So, on the website, I saw the Schmetz nonstick needles. Can I use those in size 100/16 on my Juki TL-2010q?
Yes, you can. Up to size 18.
@@JukiJunkies thank you so much for letting me know! 💜
@@LAKatKreations my pleasure. Gigi
I prevent gummed up needles from adhesive residue, by never using the products that creates it! 😂😂😂. Its not worth it.😊
I have a Juki hzl LB5100. Help ! ! I have owned this for over a year now, I cannot get it to zig zag correctly without skipping major stitches, I was told not to use any other needle then a juki , which are almost impossible to find. I recently found a guy on here who is a service man and he swears my only issue is the wrong needle, i make doll clothes, i use lycra alot for swimwear and dance, gymnast etc. i always thought a ball point was the correct needle, this guy says no i need a stretch needle, which I didn’t know existed… now, whats your opinion? Thanks
Try this pack which holds a variety of needles jukijunkies.com/product/schmetz-costume-pack-10-pack/
I would test sew on some normal cotton and see the results. If it doesnt skip stitch with cotton and a universal needle then we know its the material youre using and the setting our machines at. Adjust pressure foot pressure and needles till you get it to work :)
What needle do I use while working with Kevlar?
microtex very sharp ones :)
now you have to explain thread
ruclips.net/video/-_XFh5VXxuo/видео.htmlsi=dfWojDKcApCuaXcE
Do all these types and sizes work with the automatic needle threader?
correct
