Universal Needles for Industrial Sewing Machines with a Thin Shank
Universal needles designed for industrial sewing machines with a thin shank are a practical choice for a wide range of sewing applications. These needles are intended for universal use and can be used for sewing various materials – from lightweight and medium-weight fabrics to heavier textile materials.
Choosing the correct needle size is very important for achieving high-quality sewing results. The thinner the material, the finer the needle should be, while thicker and denser materials require a larger needle size. A properly selected needle helps prevent fabric damage, thread breakage and uneven stitches.
Choosing the Correct Needle Size
The needle size should be selected according to the thickness and structure of the material being sewn:
- 65–70 – for thin and lightweight fabrics, linings, fine cotton, silk and similar materials.
- 75–80 – for lightweight and medium-weight fabrics, shirts, blouses, cotton and blended fabrics.
- 90–100 – for medium-weight and denser materials, suit fabrics, heavier cotton and various workwear textiles.
- 110–120 – for thicker and denser fabrics where a stronger needle is required.
Important: the needle size should be matched not only to the thickness of the material but also to the thread being used. A needle that is too thin may bend or break, while a needle that is too thick can leave excessively large holes in the fabric. If you are unsure which size to choose, it is recommended to start with a smaller size and test the needle on a piece of the material.
