Needle Sizes Sewing
How do I know what size needle I need for my sewing machine?
Well I found a sewing machine. It works. I just need to know about the needle. Do the needles only come in one size? Do all needles fit in all sewing machines? I want to make something really cool! LOL. Here is a link to what my daughter and I want to make.

Isn’t that a neat idea?
Yeah! Sewing is so much fun and that project looks fun to do.
Yes, all the needles are the same but the tips are different and they differ because they have different uses. You don’t want to use the same needle for denim as you would silk, etc.
Here is a link to explain the needles: http://www.ehow.com/how_15071_choose-needle-machine.html?ref=fuel&utm_source=yahoo&utm_medium=ssp&utm_campaign=yssp_art

When you buy the needles, they come in an assorted pack with 5 or 6 in it usually. I vaguely remember the clerk telling me that a needle lasts for about 8-9 hours of use…can’t recall exactly but it was something like that.
Here’s what a pack looks like: http://www.denverfabrics.com/pages/static/sewing-machine-needles.htm
Hope this helps! Happy sewing.
