Collection: Machine Needles

Sewing machine needles from Singer and Schmetz, in mixed packs, single sizes and specialist types.

Match the needle to the fabric and most stitching problems go away. A blunt or wrong needle causes skipped stitches, snagged fabric and broken thread. Change it every 8 hours of sewing or so, or straight away if it hits a pin.

• Universal 70/10 to 80/12 - lightweight cottons and lawn
• Universal 90/14 - everyday dressmaking cottons
• Universal 100/16 and jeans needles - denim, canvas and upholstery
• Stretch (ball point) - jersey and knits
• Leather, twin and quilting needles for specialist work

The bigger the number, the thicker the needle. Domestic Singer machines take standard 130/705H system needles.
