Needles

The sewing machine needle plays an impor-
tant role in successful sewing. To ensure
you will get a quality needle, we recommend
needles of system 130/705H. The needle
package included with your Platinum con-
tains needles of the most used sizes for
sewing in woven and stretch fabrics.
A – Universal Needles Sizes 80 and 90
These needles are used for sewing in all
woven fabrics. The needle point is designed
to penetrate between the threads of the
fabric so the fabric will not be damaged.
B – Stretch Needles Sizes 90
These needles are used for sewing in knit
and stretch fabrics. The stretch needle is
marked yellow and has a rounded point.
C – Jeans Needles Sizes 90
These needles are used for sewing woven
heavy fabrics, for example denim and
canvas fabric. The jeans needle is marked
blue and has an extremely sharp point to
facilitate the penetrating of the fabric.
