The Right Tool Allows You to Do Perfect Work!

The world of sewing needles is truly vast, and for every type of work, you'll discover that there's a needle specially designed for it!

Let's start with the most commonly used needles for handmade work, and we could easily talk about wool needles. There are different types depending on the work you need to do: blunt-tipped wool needles for working with coarser wool, which, thanks to their rounded tip, provide ease of insertion into wide stitches that don't require a particularly sharp point, and sharper ones for working mainly with fabrics.

But which sewing needle to choose?

It's not an easy question to answer, or at least not an answer that's immediately obvious. Let's start with a premise: we need to know what we're buying, and when we see those numbers on sewing needles, what do they mean? Solving this is the first step, and then understanding which one is most suitable for the work we'll be doing. Take 2 minutes to learn some details that will help you in your choice:

The numbers on the needle packages identify the length, diameter, and therefore the thickness of the needle.

Let's take some examples: first of all, let's establish the concept that the higher the Gauge number - which is the so-called fineness of the needle - the finer the needle:

needle size

length mm

diameter mm

1.90

1.60

1.20

1.00

0.90

0.80

0.60

Looking at the table, it's easy to understand that the higher the number, the finer the fabric you'll be sewing, but it doesn't end there because you need to know the various types of needles available on the market, and so far, we've only talked about wool needles and generic ones. However, we should also talk about ribbon needles, plastic needles, darning needles, quilting and patchwork needles, embroidery needles, special needles, and sewing tools.

Among these categories, you can find needles for hand-sewing shoes, needles for hand-sewing leather, needles for sewing thick wool, needles for sewing felted wool, needles for sewing silk and various qualities of fabric, but also needles for machine-sewing leather, needles for sewing knits, needles for sewing jersey, and the best sewing machine needles.
