SEWING MACHINE NEEDLES

Did you know it’s important to replace your sewing machine’s NEEDLES before each new project, or after about 8 hours of sewing. Your stitches will look straight and there will be no skipped stitches.

If you see a burr (or nick) or bent needle replace it immediately to avoid any damage to your sewing machine or making damage to the fabric.
