If you wish to skip this page click on the desired needle selection to the left NOW ALL modern sewing machines use the same "Universal" style needle 15X1. Other equivalent numbers may include: 705H, HAX1, SY2020, 2045. The correct selection of needle type and size to suit the thread and fabric being sewn results in a more satisfactory stitch. Fine fabrics should be sewn with a fine needle size 11, medium fabrics size 14 and heavy fabrics size 16 or 18. You will see listed on our site a variety of needle points for various fabrics. Please check your manual for needle/thread relationship. 
FLAT SIDE: A general rule when replacing sewing machine needles, is the flat side of the needle is placed to the back of the machine if the bobbin is put in from the front. For variations please consult your manual.LONG GROOVE: When the needle makes a hole in the fabric it makes the hole only large enough for itself. The thread seats itself into the long groove as the needle enters the fabric. NOTE: You will always thread the eye of the needle from the long goove side, which will always be the opposite of the flat side. 
SHORT GROOVE (Scarf): Found on the backside of the needle just above the eye. This grooved out portion of the needle is where the shuttle or hook picks the thread up from the needle to start the stitch formation. Over the years as fabrics have become more difficult to sew the scarf has increased in length and depth.General information: The over-all length of a universal needle 15X1 is one inch and a half (1 9/16")(39mm). If you are suddenly skipping stitches or breaking thread, check your manual to see if the needle is inserted correctly. If that does not solve the problem take the machine and foot control in to your service technician to check and adjust timing. Never sew with a bent or blunt needle. Change your needle often; remember |
