Tips for Optimal Needle Performance ⚙️
Maintaining the correct needle is crucial for efficient and high-quality sewing. Follow these expert tips from SCHMETZ:
- Select the Right Needle: Always choose a needle appropriate for your fabric type and sewing machine. Refer to your machine's manual and SCHMETZ's application guides.
- Inspect Regularly: Before each use, visually inspect the needle for any signs of damage, such as burrs, bends, or a dull point. Replace damaged needles immediately to prevent fabric damage and skipped stitches.
- Proper Insertion: Ensure the needle is inserted correctly and fully into the needle clamp. The flat side of the shank should face the correct direction as per your machine's specifications.
- Avoid Excessive Force: Do not force the needle through thick or multiple layers of fabric. If resistance is met, check needle selection or machine settings.
- Storage: Store needles in their original packaging or a dedicated needle case to protect them from damage and contamination.
