Using a needle that is too thick will create a large hole in your fabric, and choosing one that is too small increases the risk of bending or snapping when sewing. The goal is to have the needle slide easily through the fabric without damaging the fibres, and to carry the thread smoothly without causing damage to your project. Typically needle sizes range from 60\/8 (the finest) to 120\/19 (the largest). We recommend to replace your needle after 8 hours of use and at the beginning of each project. Replacing your machine needle is the easiest way to improve stitch quality!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eDamaged or worn needles result in:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Broken or shredded threads\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Skipped or uneven stitches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Puckered or damaged fabrics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Popping sounds made by sewing machine\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAt Truro Fabrics we're a small, family-run business in the heart of Cornwall, UK.
