The bad news: there are a lot of different sewing machine needles. The good news: you only need two-universal and denim needles.
When I started, I was overwhelmed by all the tools and settings, especially sewing machine needles. But trust me, you'll mainly use a universal needle for almost everything. It's versatile and reliable. For thicker materials like jeans, leather, or canvas, you'll switch to a denim needle.
Sure, there are ballpoint, microtex, and jersey needles, but for tailoring t-shirts, dress shirts, pants, and chinos, the universal needle will cover you 90% of the time. I rarely use the other types and don't even know where they are.
You can get all your needles at Walmart for about $3, or Jo-Ann Fabrics if that's your thing (though I have a love-hate relationship with them). Just be aware of pretentious salespeople there.
Needles have two sizes: European and American. The European size ranges from 60 (for thinner materials) to 120 (for thicker materials), and the American size goes from 8 to 19. They’re combined, so a 60/8 needle is for delicate fabrics, and a 120/19 needle is for heavy-duty stuff. The universal needle is an 80/12-perfect for most tasks.
Oh, and pro tip: change your needle regularly, especially after a tailoring spree. It keeps your work clean and efficient.

Stylish D - I am impressed. I subscribed to your channel really early on and you were trying to figure out which way to take your channel (e.g., personality driven, tailoring, etc.) The You Tube algorithms didn't recommend your videos for a while so I figured you were pursuing your real estate career, but a video just popped up on my feed. You now have 240k subscribers and seem to be well on your way to establishing yourself as a brand. I still enjoy the videos. Congratulations to you for sticking with your passion and developing an audience. As I said in the beginning, I'm impressed.
Hey I remember you! Hope you've been well for the past...6 years or so haha! That's crazy how long ago that was huh? And I just decided to stick with what was working and luckily it paid off!
One day, I will sort myself out and my two needless sewing machines will be put to work, and I will look non-frumpy b/c of you. Until then, I just watch and learn, b/c you making understanding all this so easy and fun!
What are you waiting for???
Good point. This weekend it is!
You present very useful information
in a friendly, entertaining way. Great.
I always was confused, about the needle
sizes and was too lazy or distracted to
look it up. Thanks for clearing that up
and their uses. 😁✌🖖
Glad it was helpful! And thanks for the compliment I appreciate it!
I agree, those two needles will do the job on 99 percent of the time. On stretchy material I do use a different needle to prevent puckering. Thanks for your brief, informative, and entertaining video.
Yeah a ballpoint needle is great for preventing the puckering. Thanks for watching!
I love this message! I tailor and make all my families clothes except underwear. My tiny machine doesn't even have a back stitch. I keep my pins in a jam jar. And its FINE. Don't feel pressured to buy all the things! You can do this! :D
You've taught me so much. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Thanks for all the great info about needles.
You are so welcome!
excellent video 👍💯
Thank you 👍
Could you do a video on irons? I’m seeing compact, steam ones, non-stick, ceramic coated, not sure what to get…
Solid idea! In the meantime I would suggest a non-stick one and make sure to use distilled water in it.
You're funny 😁 enjoy your videos
Thanks I appreciate it!
Forward slash, hyphen or dash same thing
Hmm good point...but not a point a dash lol.
Whatever I thought it was funny...
I would like to learn to tailor my own clothes where do I began. I just bought a cheap sewing machine but I k it nothing about sewing. Your videos are great; should I just pick a random project or start off with tailoring my own shirts?
Awesome to hear you took the plunge! Start out with your t-shirts and dress shirts, those are easy to tackle and learn. And practice on a bed sheet too!
@@StylishDTailors thank you
Ah you got me 😂
Got em!!
Trigger alert: If blood tests give you anxiety attacks, you will not want to read this story, but it is a good example as to why you should change your needle after every few hours of (actual) sewing.
My oldest friend's father was very ill and homebound, and so a visiting nurse came to give him a blood test. She tried twice and couldn't get a vein, and she was going to have to come back later because she didn't have any other needles with her, and you're not supposed to try more than twice with one needle because it will be too dull. Why she would not bring additional needles is a whole other question, but it was an interesting fact.
So same thing with sewing-- use the needle too much, it will be dull, and you'll start skipping stitches, pulling threads in your fabric (you really don't want that to happen, it's really hard to fix), or puckering your fabric.
I have to say that I do use ball point needles for any knit/stretchy fabric, and standard or universal for everything else. For me, the ball points with knits/stretchy really make a difference. But a lot of people really like the universals even for stretchy fabrics, so don't listen to me:-). However, don't use standard (non-universal) needles on stretchy/knit stuff, that really will not work well. Also, if you get really fancy and get a high speed machine, you do need high speed needles.
And here's me thinking you were going to say one in the machine and the other poked up my &*%! to get on with it.
I'm going just eat chips from the bag while I subscribe. 🪡🪡🪡
Hahahaha!!
