The right point decides whether the fabric is pierced or pushed apart. Inside the pack are 2x80 and 3x90.
Anyone sewing different fabrics keeps several sizes ready and swaps, rather than attempting everything with one. Needles belong in dry, sorted storage; loose in a drawer they corrode and are never the one being looked for. A needle is a wearing part: after long work it goes blunt, and the sound of each stitch tells you before your eyes do. Anyone sewing regularly likes to keep such notions in duplicate.

Frequently asked questions
Which size should I pick?
The fine one for cotton and silk, the strong one for denim and coat fabric. An assortment in the box takes the decision away, because the right size always lies alongside.
When do I change the needle?
As soon as it snags, pulls threads or asks for more force than before. At the machine one more rule: after every larger project, since a blunt point punches holes instead of piercing.
What do I need for jersey?
A needle with a rounded point that slides between the loops instead of piercing them. An ordinary point creates small ladders that show up later.
How should needles be kept?
In a wallet, a case or on a cushion — sorted, and out of reach of children. Loose needles in a drawer are usually found with a fingertip.
