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.
