Collection: Machine Needles - Universal

Everyday sewing machine needles for woven fabrics. Start here for general sewing when your project does not need a specialty needle.

A starting point for everyday sewing

Choose the needle size for your fabric and thread, then check your machine’s required needle system. Move to a more specific type when the material or technique calls for it.

Ideas to try: General woven-fabric sewing. Test a short seam on the actual fabric layers and check the stitches before starting the main piece.
