FAQs
What fabric types are these needles best suited for?
These needles work best on knit fabrics, such as jersey, interlock, and fleece, as well as lightweight materials like silk and some stretch fabrics.
How often should I replace the needle?

Why are my stitches skipping?
Make sure the needle is correctly installed, and the thread is correctly threaded. Adjusting the thread tension may also help.
