These needles are ideal for jersey, tulle, cotton knit, sweatshirt fabric, and T-shirt fabrics.
The orange color marking indicates that these are Jersey needles.
If your machine uses a 130/705 H-SUK needle system, then yes, these needles will work.
Use 70/10 for lightweight, 80/12 for medium weight, and 90/14 for heavier knit fabrics.
It is recommended to change the needle after about 8 hours of sewing or if you notice any issues.
Make sure the needle is correctly inserted, use the appropriate needle for your fabric, and adjust the machine tension if needed.
Check that the needle is fully inserted and properly installed. Also, try a new needle or adjust the machine tension.
Ensure you are using the correct needle size for your fabric weight. Reduce sewing speed, and check for any obstructions in the fabric path.
Make sure you are using a jersey or ballpoint needle. If the problem persists, try a different needle size.
These needles are compatible with any domestic sewing machine that uses a 130/705 H-SUK needle system. To install, loosen the needle clamp screw, insert the needle with the flat side of the shank facing the back of the machine, and tighten the screw.
*Care*: Always inspect the needle before each use for any signs of damage or dullness. Replace the needle after about 8 hours of sewing, or sooner if you notice issues like skipped stitches or thread breakage. Store needles in a safe place to prevent bending or damage.
