Embroidery Gold - for domestic machines
When do you use embroidery gold needle?
The SCHMETZ Embroidery Gold needle is designed with a Titanium Nitride coating that enhances durability and resistance to adhesives. This coating not only increases the lifespan of the needle but also ensures smooth stitching even with challenging materials. The slightly rounded point and larger eye provide optimal functionality for embroidery, making it suitable for a variety of fabrics and specialty threads. It excels in handling coarse and densely woven textiles, delivering precise and effortless performance for all your embroidery projects.
Needle system 130/705 H-ET.
Which size universal needle do I need?
Generally, the thicker the material you are working with, the larger the needle size you will require to ensure optimal stitching. It's important to choose the right needle to achieve the best results in your sewing projects!
Please note that some overlockers and some older Singer sewing machines take specialty needles. Please contact us to get guidance in these areas on 08 82727244 or info@allmakesewing.com.au
A bit about needle life…
On average we recommend the sewing life of a needle is 6-8 hours. The tip can snap clean if it has hit the machine hardware, different fabrics can cause the tip to wear/blunten, the shaft will weaken over time as it penetrates fabrics and the hole can even wear a groove over time as threads rub in the same spot. Please be aware that depending on fabric type, thickness and thread used, this life time will vary.
A bit about Schmetz…
Since 1851 SCHMETZ has been the leading manufacturer of quality sewing machine needles in the world. A SCHMETZ sewing machine needle passes through up to 35 stages of production and after each production stage there is a semi- or fully automated check. There are plenty of other cheaper brands who haven’t got this strict production process in place, and we see time and again first hand that the dodgy needle can cause havoc with your sewing experience (the hook not picking up the thread to form a stitch, thread shredding and thread breakages to name a few).
Please see below for more information on which needle to use for which fabric, and a useful ‘colour chart’ for knowing which needle you have in your machine currently ( without the use of a magnifying glass!).
