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.
