Universal Needles for Overlock Machines

Universal needles designed for overlock machines are a practical choice for a wide range of sewing and edge-finishing applications. These needles are intended for universal use and can be used with various materials, from thin and lightweight fabrics to medium-weight and heavier textiles.

Choosing the correct needle size is important for achieving smooth and consistent stitching. Thinner fabrics require a finer needle, while thicker and denser materials require a larger needle size. The correct needle helps reduce the risk of fabric damage, thread breakage and skipped stitches.

Each package contains 10 needles.

Choosing the Correct Needle Size

The needle size should be selected according to the thickness and structure of the material and the thread being used:

• 55–60 – for very thin and lightweight fabrics, fine linings, silk and other delicate materials.
• 65–70 – for thin fabrics, lightweight cotton, fine blended fabrics and lightweight textiles.
• 75–80 – for lightweight and medium-weight fabrics, shirting fabrics, cotton and various blended fabrics.
• 90–100 – for medium-weight and denser materials, suit fabrics, heavier cotton and workwear textiles.
• 110–120 – for thicker and dense fabrics where a stronger needle is required.

Important: the needle size should be matched not only to the material thickness 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, test the needle on a piece of the material first.
