Thanks for this. Since I have modern domestic and industrial machines and a wide variety of vintage machines, keeping my information straight in which machines take which needle system, and remembering what the proper needle orientation is for each machine (thread from the front, from the left, from the right) can be a chore. Also, keeping my needle inventory somewhat organized is also a battle. The better I have the needle “logic” in my brain, the easier it is to choose the right needle for the right application and get it inserted the correct way. Your article is reinforcing the underlying logic. Thanks!
Such a timely article. This afternoon I heard a small “popping” sound while sewing. I wondered what it could be, so I promptly checked for dust bunnies and rethreaded the machine. It was a bit better, but as I was nearly done I left well enough alone. Tomorrow a new needle is in order. Thank you for sharing this article.
Thank you very much, that is so helpful especially the recommendation of Topstitch. I will use that because being older I am struggling with threading the needle. Very difficult is it when using metallic thread (Madeira).

Wow, some security you got. Can you say anything about industrial machines and their needles?
Such valuable information. Thanks

Great info. Thank you! I’d appreciate specifics on Microtex needle.
I appreciate all of the information that you send and I recommend your shop always!
My question....How often should a needle be changed?
Extremely informative!
