Having the right needle to suite your sewing needs can have a big impact on how your project turns out. While there are many projects that can be stitched using a universal needle, Jill Case shares with you that it’s good to know what other needle options are out there and what projects and fabrics they are best used with. Many sewing machine needles are very straight forward in their description. For example, jean needles are best for jean and denim fabrics, leather needles are for use with leather, and stretch needles are for sewing with stretchy fabrics. However, there are a few others, like ballpoint or microtex, that are a bit trickier. Jill takes you through each needle, their uses, and even some great ideas on how to store them.

This is really helpful, I didn't understand why my needle kept bending and snapping while I was sewing. I didn't realise they make needles for different fabrics. You made it really easy to understand. Thank you!
Thanks for this I wasn't aware that there was different needles for different fabrics use, now I realise why laungerie fabric is hard using a universal needle now I just need to find these sorts of needles for my older sewing machine to do tasks, really pleased with your video I'm a learning sewing girl so thankyou
Thank you for the lesson. It all makes sense to me now why my silky binder was shredding 🥺 and sometimes my needle breaks.
People are so mean. Ignore the online bullies. The video was very helpful, I found the needle pad on Amazon! It’s an excellent idea! I like that you organize your needles with a business card holder. Thanks
People have finally woken up and are not settling for anything that is 2nd best anymore.
I have to rave about Schmetz needles. I just sewed a jacket from fake suede with a bonded knit backing. I started out with some needles I had been given, including ballpoint, and the machine was skipping like 4 out of 5 stitches. I went and bought Schmetz stretch needles and suddenly, perfection! So glad I didn’t have to waste my $50 worth of fabric.
they are really good...can't disagree
The printed needle guide is a good idea.
Thank you for this information!! where can I get a needle guide print out? Thank you
I usually go with a 90/14 denim and have been for over 30 years, and only if I purchase a machine and have the loaded needles do I ever step off of the 90/14 denim.
I'm sorry but they are all right. I tried to listen to this but could not follow all the ummms and thinking without enough info. I"m looking for what needles I can us in a Husqvarna machine since I have no JoAnn store where I bought my machine.
Really needed this! Thank you.
Can you use these needles in any type of sewing machines
Yes! And! A leather needle has a bladed point and actually cuts the hide. Being not fabric but hide, a needle meant to spread a weave (all other needles) will simply break on leather.
thank you very helpful
Hey good day. Where can i order the pad?
I have a microtex (sharp) needles for my pfaff sewing machine is that okay ?
My Grannie sewed almost every day.
A couple of 5 packs of needles lasted her at least A YEAR !
She would have just laughed at the idea of "Change your needle for every project"!
Is there something wrong with the needles they sell today? Are they just not as good as 40 years ago??

Thanks so much for this video. :)
I don't know if you answer comments, but if you do I have a question. I have several pairs of boy school uniform pants that need hemmed. The fabric is 97% cotton/3% spandex. I haven't sewed for over 35 years. I have a new Janome 3000 and a new Janome blue couture. I used the needle that was preinstalled on the blue couture, and as I hemmed I noticed a bit of fabric thread being pulled. What needle should I use to hem these pants for 3 boys?

Perhaps you could have talked about the NUMBER on the needles and what they stand for??? This was not a very helpful guide for choosing a needle.

Can I use a Schmetz needles on my Janome 3160QDC ?
Hello!
Schmetz home sewing needles work with all major sewing machine brands!
Hi what machine needles. Size do you use for super streach fabrics
Super stretch needles need a stretch needle or jesey or sometimes even microtex - stretch fabrics are odd! Sometimes you have to try a few different needles until you get the right one. Size wise depends on the thickness ofyour fabric. if you have a thick fabric you need a higher number needle, fine fabric, lower. Hope that helps. i have a video coming out soon all about this.

This was definitely a helpful HIGH LEVEL overview, but would have been more useful with more detail. Barely any of the needles in the holder were shown beyond a glance, and nothing about that laminated diagram was explained. Way too much time was spent on the accessories in the beginning than talking about actual needles.
DRINKING GAME:take a shot every time she says "ummmm"
I counted 12× she said ummm
I'd be tipsy by now ; bless her
But do you need to get a certain number ? If I have a 90/14 do I need to get all needles that are 90/14? I have a pack of singer needles and it’s style 2020 size 80/11 would that work in my machine if my needle that I took out says 90/14? It’s a brother machine and I have no clue what to buy for a needle. On another site it asked me for a single number when when I wanted to buy a pack of 90/14 needles. It asked what number an 8, 14 etc... any help would definitely help!

Thanks!
90/14 & 80/11 are both sizes of needles so yes you can replace your 90/14 with 80/11 as long as they are not industrial needles. You probably have convention sewing machine where the head of the needle in diameter is round partially and flat partial ( sort of like half a pie) verses industry machine the diameter is a cylinder( the whole pie).
Hope that helps 😀😃
The Mypad and pumpkin needle storers were useful ideas, but the title is "Choosing the right Sewing Machine Needle", and several kinds I've seen for sale were not even mentioned, let alone explaining the differences and why particular needles are, or are not, suitable, so I still don't know which to choose for less common projects.

Universal or ball point, and the number depends how thick the fabric. 70 fine, 80 medium, 90 heavier
@@jesshothersall Thanks Jessica!
My singer Futura states that I can only use Singer needles in the machine. I've used other needle brands before. Is this statement true, or is this just a way to enforce you to buy there brand only? I've seen little selection of singer needles at Joanns.
+Brandi Hagerty Hi Brandi. am not overly familiar with that exact sewing machine model, however I would say that you can use other needle brands. Singer is a popular brand of needle, as is Schmetz, and I have personally used both brands interchangeably in both of my machines (one a Singer and one a Brother). What you want to look for when purchasing needles is that sometimes you can find needles that say 'Industrial Use' or 'Serger', where you want to purchase 'Standard' needles meant for home sewing machine use, no matter what brand they are.Hope this helps!
Brandi Hagerty I recently purchased a Singer embroidery machine and was told by the sales person the machine will take Schmetz needles. Because i have a basic sewing machine and serger I have a variety of Schmetz needles. Im currently working on an embroidery project with a Schmetz embroidery needle. The machine runs without issue. Good luck!
I bought a set of needles size 24 and wont fit my juki ddl 555 model the shank its to big for the needle shaft i tried also by getting a smaller size #18 and still wont fit :/ anyone having these issue
I'm not sure but it sounds as if you might be buying industrial needles for a domestic machine?
Heres a fun game: take a drink every time she says "um."
Hahahahahaha! Zzzzzzzzzzzzz!
or ahh... I appreciate the limited free info she was giving to non members like myself, but perhaps with a membership, she would stop saying um and ah also with a more detail answer? haha lol It's not just her though that does this ,90% of amateur content makers are guilty of this. I wonder sometimes if they ever play it back to listen to themselves.☻☺lol Cheers, still a helpful video regardless.♥
Put up or shut up
what is a stretch needle?
ball points
I have a singer 413 machine and all the needles are too long
how about a date to help me with my sewing needs
i bought overlock needles,do i need a universal needle for the 3337 singer machine
i remember useing them on my serger but is ok to use them on this machine??
no its not, length"s different
Hi,
A universal needle will definitely work in your singer. If you are ever unsure about the type of needle to use in your machine, please consult your manual.
Cheers,
Ashley
Ummmm...ahh...uhhhhh...ummmmm....jeeeez
why can't someone explain in simple language? So, hard to understand.get your thought together first.
Too many ahs, ahm, it's hard to watch! Maybe get your thoughts together first before taping.
Rude. How about you teach us what you know????
I’m sorry but I could not watch the whole thing. Ooofff with allnthen ummms and huge pauses it gave me anxiety lol
⁵
hard to watch when so many umm and like and umms... You are making these videos to get paid by subscribers.... Hoping you get more practice and less UMMMMMM.
Thought im the only one get offended by that
I had a question.... ummmmm ummmmm ahhh ummmmm ummmm never mind ummmmm. I’m clicking off now.
I taught college speech classes x6 a year for 11 years, and other than one student who was a DJ and trained to use pause words (he quickly learned otherwise in my class), this was the absolute most annoying presentation I have ever listened to--dont' even know if the content was worthwhile with all the "pause word" distractions. In 2:41 minutes there were 22 "ums/ahs/and ahs--pause words"--45 for the 5:24 presentation. Without even grading items used for presentation and how presented or how much eye contact with the audience, the pause words alone would have put a "55" in my grade book!!! Hope this helps to be aware and learn to avoid for other videos. . .Topic could have been very helpful, but not with the poor verbal distractions. . . .
People are so mean, smh, move on to other sites.
Can't follow. should have prepared better the script

Please spit it out ma'am!!
