How to.. know when it’s time to replace your needle

If you’re ever struggling to sew a fabric, it may be that you are using the wrong needle or one that is blunt.

5 signs that you might need to change your needle:

  • Skipped stitches

  • Holes

  • Snagging

  • Puckers

  • Loops on either side of the fabric

More often than not, all of these problems can be fixed by changing to a different or new needle. I’d recommend to always keep a stock of a few different types in your stash.

How do I choose which needle to use?

The right needle can make sewing your fabric a dream!
