Fabric Use: Numerous - wovens and knits. A great general purpose needle. Works with all household sewing machine brands.
Between a sharp point and medium ball point, this is a general purpose needle which can be used for most applications without issues.
A general purpose needle that can be used on knit or woven fabrics. A casual sewer who might repair a pair of jeans today, a child’s t-shirt tomorrow, and some lingerie next month will probably use this needle most often. It will do a number of tasks sufficiently. It has a long scarf that is great for zigzag stitching and it does not damage knits. It is sharp enough to go through a lot of fabrics but it does have a slight ball point which does not make it ideal for going through many layers or high thread count fabrics. This needle comes in a wide range of sizes from size 60 to size 120.
Size 70 is a finer needle for more delicate fabrics; for extra lightweight woven fabrics, for example sheers, tulle and lace. Size 80 is the standard weight needle for standard applications; for light weight woven fabrics, for example broadcloth, taffeta, crepe de Chine and gauze. Size 100 is a larger needle for heavier fabrics and thicker threads.
