FAQs
Are these needles suitable for machine sewing?
No, these are strictly hand-sewing needles and should not be used in a sewing machine.
Do these needles come with a storage case?
Yes, they are provided in a convenient storage container designed to keep the needles organized and protected.
Can these be used for leather crafting?
These are intended for standard fabrics; they are likely not strong enough for thick leather and may bend.
What is the best way to thread these needles?
If you struggle with threading, we recommend using a standalone needle threader tool to pull the thread through the eye.
Will these needles rust if used with damp fabric?
They are rustproof, but you should always dry your sewing projects thoroughly after washing to prolong the life of the needle.
Troubleshooting
Needle is difficult to push through fabric
You may be using a needle that is too thick for the fabric type. Switch to a finer needle size from the assortment.
Thread keeps fraying or snapping while sewing
The needle eye might have a small burr or be too small for the thread thickness. Ensure you are using an appropriate thread-to-eye ratio.
Needle is bending during use
The fabric or material may be too thick or dense for standard hand sewing needles. Use a thimble for extra force or switch to a heavier-duty needle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the Prym Hand Needles, simply select the size that corresponds to your thread weight—the needle eye should accommodate the thread without excessive friction. These needles are compatible with all standard embroidery flosses, cotton threads, and synthetic sewing threads. To maintain the life of your needles, keep them stored in a dry environment to ensure the rustproof properties remain effective. After use, wipe the needles clean with a soft, dry cloth to remove any natural skin oils or residue before returning them to their container. Avoid storing them in damp locations like basements or laundry rooms, as this can degrade the storage case or surface finish over extended periods.
