This needle is designed for use with denim, canvas, and other heavyweight fabrics.
If your sewing machine uses the 130/705 H-J ZWI system, it is compatible. Always check your machine's manual.
Use two spools of thread and thread your machine following the standard threading path, using a dual-needle adapter if necessary. Ensure the thread paths are separate and smooth.
The SCHMETZ Jeans Twin Needle is a 4.0/100, which is suitable for denim and other heavyweight fabrics. The size 100 is the needle size, and 4.0 represents the distance between the needles.
Start with your machine's standard settings and adjust as needed to balance both threads. Uneven tension can cause skipped stitches or thread breakage. Make sure the bobbin tension is also correct.
Replace the needle after every project or after approximately 8 hours of sewing time, or sooner if the needle becomes dull or damaged. Inspect the needle frequently for any signs of wear.
SCHMETZ needles are available at most sewing supply stores and online retailers.
Check needle for damage, re-thread the machine, ensure proper thread tension, or consider using a different needle size.
Check the thread path for obstructions, ensure correct thread tension, and use high-quality thread.
Ensure the needle is correctly installed, use appropriate fabric, and reduce sewing speed if necessary.
Check and adjust thread tension, ensure the machine is properly threaded, and use quality thread.
