A Complete Guide to Sewing Machine Needles

A Complete Guide to Sewing Machine Needles

In this guide I will go over all 5 sizes of sewing machine needles & why/how to use each! This guide will start with the smallest needle size & end with the biggest! Happy sewing & creating! <3

First thing is first: What do these two numbers even mean? The numbers on your sewing machine needles represent two sizing systems: a European (metric) system & an American system! These numbers generally indicate the needles diameter in millimeters! The European system uses numbers like 60, 70, 100, etc where the higher the number, the thicker the needle. The American system uses numbers like 8, 9, 11, etc & just like the European system: the higher the number goes the thicker the needle! Cool, right?! :)
