Needle
size - Home sewing machine needles use a dual
designation to represent their size. The first
number is the Number Metric (NM) and is simply a
measurement of the diameter of the needle shaft in
millimeters multiplied by 100 to remove the decimal
reference. A sewing machine needle with a diameter
of 0.80 mm corresponds to a NM 80. To combine two
commonly used measurement systems, the number metric
is joined with the corresponding Singer needle
number. Thus we always see the NM 75 used in
conjunction with the Singer number 11, or 80/12,
90/14 and so forth. As a general rule, always select
the needle size to accommodate the thickness of the
thread being used and the needle point style to
accommodate the type fabric sewn.
Needle type - With all of the different types
of threads and fabrics available today individual
creativity is virtually unlimited. Many of these
wonderful fabrics and threads come with special
requirements for their use. Trying to sew with the
wrong needle point or wrong needle size can be very
frustrating. Choosing the correct needle point and
size in combination with the fabric and thread to be
used is essential to obtaining desired results. For
every sewing application there is always a ”best’
needle to use. Taking a few moments to identify that
needle can produce a truly satisfying sewing
experience. |
