This Schmetz Combi Basic Large Assorted needle set is designed for dressmakers and home sewers looking for versatile, high-quality needles for a variety of fabric types. Its key benefit is providing precise and durable stitching across common projects, from everyday wear to denim and stretchy materials. A primary caveat to note is that this specific product is dispatched from a third-party warehouse, which may increase overall delivery times for orders containing it.

It signifies a pack containing a combination of basic, large-sized assorted needles, including Universal, Denim, and Stretch types.
The pack contains a total of 7 needles: 2x Universal (70/10), 2x Universal (80/12), 2x Universal (90/14), 1x Denim (90/14), and 1x Stretch (90/14).
These needles are compatible with most home sewing machines that use the standard 130/705 H shank system.
The Stretch needle is ideal for knit fabrics, jersey, lycra, and other very elastic materials to prevent skipped stitches and damage.
Universal needles are a type of standard needle suitable for a wide range of fabrics, offering a slightly rounded point. The 'assortment' refers to different sizes of these universal needles within the pack.
This product is stored and dispatched from a third-party warehouse, which adds extra processing time compared to items shipped directly from the main warehouse.
It's recommended to replace your needle after approximately 8-10 hours of sewing, or after completing a significant project. A dull or damaged needle can cause various stitching problems.
Ensure you are using the correct needle type for the fabric (e.g., Stretch needle for knits). Check that the needle is fully inserted and not bent. Verify the machine is threaded correctly.
Confirm you are using the correct needle size and type for the fabric's weight. Make sure the needle is not bent and is properly seated in the clamp. Check for any obstructions in the machine's path.
This can indicate a dull needle. Try a new needle from the appropriate type and size. Adjusting tension might also help.
Use the Denim needle. Ensure the needle is sharp and of an appropriate size (e.g., 90/14 or larger if necessary). Lowering presser foot pressure slightly may help, if your machine allows.
Setup: Ensure your sewing machine is turned off and unplugged before changing the needle. Select the appropriate needle type and size for your fabric. Insert the needle into the machine's needle clamp, ensuring the flat side of the needle shank faces the back (refer to your sewing machine manual if unsure). Tighten the clamp screw securely.
Compatibility: These needles are designed for use with most standard home sewing machines that accept the 130/705 H system (also known as 2020 system or home shank needles).
Care: Store needles in their original packaging or a dedicated needle case to prevent damage and loss. Keep them away from moisture. Replace needles regularly (e.g., after every large project or 8-10 hours of sewing) as dull or bent needles can cause stitching problems.
