Schmetz Sewing Machine Needles - Universal - 130/705 H - Size 100/16

Size 100/16 needles are ideal for medium to heavy-weight fabrics like denim, canvas, and multiple layers of fabric.

It's recommended to change your needle after every 8 hours of sewing, or after each project involving heavy fabrics or seams.

130/705 H refers to the needle system, indicating the type of shank (flat) and universal compatibility with many home sewing machines.

These needles are designed for standard sewing machines, not sergers. Sergers require specific needle types.

Look for a bent needle, burrs, or a blunt tip. These are signs the needle should be replaced.

Use thread weights suitable for medium to heavy fabrics. Check the thread manufacturer's recommendations for the needle size.

Check if the needle size is appropriate for your fabric and thread. Ensure the needle is correctly installed and that the machine is properly threaded. Reduce sewing speed if necessary.

Check the needle for damage and replace it if needed. Re-thread your machine, ensuring the thread is properly tensioned. Adjust the machine's stitch settings if necessary.

Check the needle for burrs or damage. Ensure the thread is of good quality and suitable for the fabric. Adjust the thread tension. Make sure the spool is seated correctly.
