Sewing machine needles keep our work beautiful!

Piecing and quilting techniques have special needles for quality sewing
Today is the busiest travel day of the year and guess who is traveling?  Your right me.  So while I am at the airport waiting on my flight I thought this would be a good chance for me to let you know about sewing machine needles.

Household sewing needles are different today then when I first started sewing over 40 years ago.  Fabrics have change and because of this needles had to change too.  It was simpler when I began sewing and so were the fabrics.  Now we have micro fibers, fabrics with carbon fibers, blends of rayon and flax plus many more new innovative fibers.  Needles have been changing to help make the sewing process easier.

Serger or Overlock machine needles are often specialty needles not the same needles that you will use in your sewing machine.  Check with your owners manual or dealer to see which needles your machine uses.  I have a Baby Lock Evolution serger and we use the ELX705 needles.

Always check with your owners manual or sewing machine dealer to see what needles your machines use. 



Happy Sewing,
