These needles are specifically designed for use with jersey, knit, and other stretch fabrics.
No, these needles are not recommended for use with woven fabrics.
The needle size (e.g., 70/10, 80/12, 90/14) indicates the needle's thickness; a higher number means a thicker needle.
Select the needle size based on the fabric weight; lighter fabrics need smaller needles, and heavier fabrics require larger needles.
Replace the needle after approximately 8 hours of sewing or if you experience stitching problems.
Store the needles in the provided storage box to protect them from damage.
The ball point tip pushes the fabric fibers apart rather than cutting them, preventing snags and runs in knit fabrics.
Ensure the needle is correctly inserted, and consider adjusting the machine's tension settings or using a different needle size.
Check that the needle size is appropriate for the fabric weight, and reduce the sewing speed if necessary.
Confirm that you are using the correct needle type (Jersey/Ball Point) for the fabric, and check for any burrs or damage on the needle tip.
These needles are compatible with most standard sewing machines. To install, loosen the needle clamp screw, insert the needle with the flat side of the shank facing away from you, and tighten the screw. Always select the appropriate needle size based on the fabric weight. For lighter jersey fabrics, a size 70/10 needle is suitable, while heavier knits may require a size 90/14. Replace the needle after approximately 8 hours of sewing or if you notice any stitching issues. Store needles in the provided storage box to prevent damage and ensure they remain in good condition.
