Anyone sewing different fabrics keeps several sizes ready and swaps, rather than attempting everything with one. Cutting the thread short and pulling it smooth threads faster than a frayed end ever will. Fine cloth asks for a fine needle, firm cloth for a strong one — true for hand sewing as much as for the machine. These notions fit any sewing drawer and come to hand quickly.

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.
Why do needles corrode?
Moisture and hand perspiration are enough. Dry storage and a quick wipe after work keep them bright; a filled pincushion protects further. A rusty needle belongs in the bin, because it leaves marks on fabric.
Are they good for embroidery too?
Embroidery needles have a larger eye and often a blunt point so they run between the threads. On counted work that is the difference between pleasure and struggle.
