Machine Corner:
Needles are an important part of getting a great stitch from your sewing machine. Schmetz makes a wonderful universal needle that works great for all makes and models of machines. They are the recommended needle of sewing machine techs and sewists alike.
Not sure what needle to use and confused about how to read the colors? This Schmetz Chart is a great resource to see what the colors on the needles mean. The top color is the type of needle and the bottom color indicates the needle size.
Need a new machine? Let us help you get into the best tool for your best work. There's fun promo going on with Janome until the end of August. When you purchase one of the machines below, you will get a Home Depot gift card, great for a few updates in your sewing room or give it to your hubby. Stop in and see us.
