Jersey needles have a medium point (also called ball point), which easily penetrates knitted qualities. It prevents stitches or threads from running, so you won't get holes in your fabric.

That's why jersey needles are particularly suitable for knitted fabrics - e.g. all kinds of jersey, fleece, terry and velour.

The needles fit common sewing machines.

Size 70 - for light jersey

The size 70 jersey needle is the most commonly used needle size for lightweight jersey fabrics - e.g. single jersey (T-shirt quality).

Size 80 jersey needles are good for stretch fabrics of medium thickness - e.g. Ponte de Roma, stretch isoli and stretch velour.  

Size 90 - for terry, heavy isoli and fleece

Size 90 jersey needles are particularly suitable for heavier stretch fabrics - such as fleece, heavy isoli and terry.

Size 100 - for multiple layers of heavy stretch fabrics

The jersey needles in size 100 are used for the strongest stretch fabrics - e.g. thick fleece or several layers thereof.  

Bundle with all sizes

We also sell the jersey needles in a handy pack of 5 needles in different sizes. You can find the assorted jersey needles here. 

Super Stretch needles in sizes 75 and 90 have a medium point (also called ball point) that easily penetrates super stretch qualities - e.g. swimwear fabric or sportswear fabric. The slightly rounded point of the needle prevents stitches or threads from running, so you won't get holes in your fabric.

The shaft of a super stretch needle is also specially developed for highly elastic, smooth stretch fabrics. Therefore, you will find that using this particular type of needle prevents it from missing stitches.

Super stretch needles are particularly suitable for fabrics with lycra or elastane, such as latex, sportswear and elastic bands. We recommend using size 75 needles for thin, highly elastic fabrics such as swimwear qualities. Size 90 is suitable for thicker fabrics with a lot of stretch.

A jeans needle (also called denim needle) has a thin and sharp point that penetrates unhindered through heavy grades.

Jeans needles are therefore particularly suitable for sewing thick and heavy fabrics - such as denim, canvas and coated qualities. If you're sewing in stretch denim, we recommend you do a jeans needle dust test and switch to a stretch needle if the jeans needle is pulling holes in the fabric.

Jeans needles are suitable for standard sewing machines.

Size 90 - for denim, canvas and coated fabric

Size 90 jeans needles can grind through most heavy fabrics - denim, canvas and coated fabrics.

Size 100 - for several layers of heavy fabric

Size 100 jersey needles are suitable for the strongest fabrics - e.g. heavy denim, canvas or multiple layers of e.g. denim.

Bundle with both sizes

We also offer the sewing machine needles in a smart bundle that includes jeans needles in sizes 90 and 100. You can find our assorted jeans needles here.

A leather needle (also called a skin needle) is particularly suitable for sewing in thick and sturdy materials such as leather, skins, suede and similar fabrics. The needle has a knife-shaped point that cuts through these materials easily.

Be aware that leather needles cut holes in the material you are working with. Therefore, this type of needle is not suitable for faux fur, faux leather or faux fur. Use microtex needles for these types instead.

Leather needles fit common sewing machines. Get leather needles in sizes 90 and 100 here. 

Microtex needles are very thin and have a thin tip that slides easily through very thin, fine qualities without pulling stitches/threads.

That's why microtex needles are suitable for fine and lightweight fabrics - such as silk, chiffon, thin viscose, satin and microfibre.

Microtex needles are also particularly suitable for sewing in faux leather. However, for multiple layers of faux leather, we recommend that you use a slightly thicker all-purpose needle to prevent your needle from breaking.

The needles fit standard sewing machines and are available in sizes 60 and 70.

Embroidery requires fast movements with sewing in different directions. To avoid thread fraying or splitting, you can use an embroidery needle.

Embroidery needles for the sewing machine have a small point (also called ball point) and a large needle eye that protects the thread during embroidery. This makes the needles particularly suitable for embroidery on your sewing machine.

The needles fit common sewing machines.

Choose an embroidery needle with the right thickness

The size of the needle you need to use depends on the type of fabric you are embroidering.

Choose a size 75 embroidery machine needle for lightweight fabrics. Size 90 is more suitable for heavy fabrics.

Top Stitch needles have a needle size of 90 and are for use in heavier fabrics. Their needle eye is larger and longer than ordinary needles, which helps prevent the threads of the fabric from fraying or splitting.

The needles are particularly suitable for quilting seams with quilting thread or for sewing buttonholes and decorative stitching with special threads such as metallic threads, furniture threads, denim threads and the like.

You can also use the needles for jeans and other denim styles that often make use of visible decorative stitching with denim thread. 

Topstitch needles suitable for standard sewing machines

Twin needles (also called double needles) have two needles on one shank. You can use the needles for sewing two parallel stitches - for example for overlapping or as decorative stitches.

You can get twin needles in different sizes, just like you know the thicknesses from regular sewing machine needles. In addition, twin needles have an additional size designation that tells you the distance between the needles.

Example: our 2 pcs. Twin needles set 2,5 mm size 80 have 2 needles of size 80, which are placed 2,5 mm apart. 

Size 80/2,5 mm - for plain weave fabrics

A size 80 twin needle is particularly suitable for sewing in plain weave fabrics without stretch - such as cotton canvas, linen and velour.

Size 90/3 mm - for heavier fabrics

A size 90 twin needle is particularly suitable for sewing in thick and slightly heavier qualities without stretch - such as denim and canvas.

Size 75/4 mm - for stretch fabrics

A size 75 stretch twin needle has a ball point tip that is particularly suitable for sewing in knitted qualities that include lycra, elastane and the like. This type of twin needle is good for jersey, stretch-isoli or stretch-velour, for example.

Twin needles fit common sewing machines.

You can use regular sewing machine needles for most overlock machines. But for best results, we recommend you choose an overlock needle.

Overlock needles are special needles for overlockers and coverlock machines. These extra strong needles have extra high precision and are specially designed to withstand the high speed of the overlocker and coverlock machine.

For your overlock needles, make sure they match the quality you're sewing with - this will give you the best results.

EL x 705 CR Size 80 - for solid fabrics

EL x 705 CR overlock needles have a small point (also called ball point) that glides easily through woven and solid qualities.

Therefore, these overlock needles are particularly suitable for sewing in fabrics such as cotton, upholstery fabrics and the like.  

EL x 705 CR SUK Size 80 - for stretch fabrics

EL x 705 CR SUK overlock needles have a medium point (also called ball point) that glides easily through knitted qualities.

That's why the overlock needles are particularly suitable for sewing in fabrics such as isoli, jersey, terrycloth and similar qualities.
