Why SINGER® Needles Are Better
1. Stronger Steel
[Image illustrating '2X' stronger steel with needles]
Stronger needles last longer and stay sharp longer, to stitch cleanly through any material.
2. Superior Needle Stiffness
[Image illustrating needle flexibility]
SINGER® high-quality cold forged steel sewing machine needles are manufactured with an exclusive flow pressing technique. This delivers incomparable bending stiffness to avoid needle breakage and skipped stitches.
3. Threading Ease

A larger needle eye allows for an easier, faster, and more satisfying threading experience.
4. Insert Ease
[Image of a T-shaped needle head]
SINGER®'s T-shaped needle head makes it easy to insert into your machine.
5. Smooth Thread Handling
[Image of a smooth needle tip]
SINGER® needles have perfectly rounded edges, eye, and grooves. You will have 100% burr-free protection with your threads and fabrics while sewing.
6. Shape Resilience
[Image of a needle groove]
SINGER®'s exclusive Delta-U needle groove delivers more extreme needle bendability. Your needle will rebound to shape, producing a more accurate stitch.
7. Stitch Integrity
[Image showing needle clearance above eye]
SINGER®'s proprietary CAE (Clearance Above Eye) needle design improves thread-catching clearance. You'll experience fewer skipped stitches and less risk of collision with the bobbin case.
8. Twin Needles: Stronger Bonding
[Image of two SINGER twin needles welded together]
SINGER® twin needles are welded together for a stronger bond. Welded twin needles last longer and perform better with fewer skipped stitches.
