The incorrect length of needle can damage your machine or simply not work. Consult your manual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is plenty of information online that describes the gauge (diameter) and point of the needles that is recommended for different fabrics, most refer to the common universal needle the 130\/705, however not all vintage and antique machines use this needle. Read on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On this page I try to indicate which needle is recommended for each machine. Below is a basic rundown of these needles and their alternative \/ compatible equivalents. This information has been gathered by my own research, it may contain errors and is intended as a guide only. When using an alternative needle, always use caution as to not damage your machine. I do not recommend any brand of needle, this is up to you and your own research and availability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-7659e512\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/eyemaozi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Needle-Parts.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3592 lazyload\" width=\"364\" height=\"448\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eyemaozi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Needle-Parts.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3592 lazyload\" width=\"364\" height=\"448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eyemaozi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Needle-Parts.jpg 403w, https:\/\/eyemaozi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Needle-Parts-243x300.jpg 243w, https:\/\/eyemaozi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Needle-Parts-10x12.jpg 10w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 364px) 100vw, 364px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sewing Machine Needles<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p><strong>*A needle system<\/strong> is a group of needles <strong>made to fit specific sewing machines<\/strong>.
