-
Long Groove: Located on both the front and back of the needle, essential for creating chain stitches like overlock or coverlock stitches.
-
Larger Scarf: Provides extra clearance and ensures smoother stitching.

Reinforced Blade: Increases needle strength, reducing breakage and creating straighter stitches.
Needle Life Recommendation
A sewing machine needle can have a life expectancy of one minute to one month, depending on usage and the operator. It is recommended to insert a new needle at the start of every project, or after about eight hours of sewing. Additionally, make sure to replace your needle whenever it becomes bent, dull, or develops a burr.
Damaged or worn needles can cause broken or shredded threads, which will affect your sewing results.
