It's important to buy good quality sewing machine needles, else they won't last long nor do the job you want. Hemline sewing machine needles are a high-quality option. Various sizes and needle types are available. Most packs contain 6 needles, but some packs have 5 needles, such as Ballpoint 100's and Jeans Heavy Mixed (90, 100). The Universal x 10 pack contains 10 needles (sizes 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110). Ballpoint needles are designed for cotton knits, interlock rib knits, fleece, double knit, ultra-suede, and most other knit fabrics. Use with polyester or lightweight cotton. The rounded tip separates fibers to prevent laddering or running. Stretch needles are designed for knits with two-way stretch, especially those with Lycra or rubber, ideal for swimwear and lingerie, and for sewing elastic. Their specially designed scarf prevents skipped stitches. Use with texturized nylon or polyester thread. Best for two-way stretch knits, Lycra, power net, silk, spandex, and highly elasticized synthetic fabrics, as well as elastic. Universal needles are best for most woven fabrics, and some knits and synthetics.
