Choosing the right needle has a significant impact on the quality of your sewing and embroidery projects. When you buy sewing needles for your BERNINA sewing machine from us, you can be sure that you are getting only the best quality. All sewing needles are manufactured with great care to give you outstanding sewing results and enjoyment in your creative work.
A special feature of BERNINA, however, is that some of the needles for sewing machines are color-coded to help you identify the needle thickness and the appropriate needle type. This makes it much easier for you to purchase a sewing machine needle that is suitable for your needs.
Which sewing needles are used for what, and what types of needles are available?
Not all sewing needles are the same. It is not without reason that the guiding principle is: "You should always buy the right sewing machine needles for different sewing projects."
There are a variety of sewing needles for different purposes. The most common needles for sewing machines can be roughly divided into universal needles, stretch needles, jeans needles, and leather needles.
For example, thinner needles should be used for fine fabrics such as silk or chiffon to avoid damaging the fabric. For heavy fabrics such as denim or leather, it is better to choose stronger and more robust sewing needles to ensure good penetration. And for stretchy fabrics such as jersey or knitwear, it is better to use a stretch or jersey needle to prevent the fibers from stretching or breaking.
Are all sewing machine needles the same?
Sewing machine needles are not all the same. Each sewing machine has a specific needle system that is designed to securely attach the needles and ensure correct stitch formation. Therefore, always make sure that you use the right sewing needles for your specific sewing machine. In addition, there is also a suitable needle for each type of fabric. Choosing the wrong needle can lead to skipped stitches, broken threads, or damaged fabrics.
