Needles

The sewing machine needle plays an
important role in successful sewing. To
ensure you will get a quality needle,
we recommend needles of system
130/705H. The needle package included
with Platinum 770 contains 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.

Changing the Needle
