Product description
Prym Sewing Machine Needles – Size 70
Prym universal needles in size 70, 5 needles per box. A fine needle for thin, light fabrics. The needles come in a clear plastic Prym box, 5 needles per pack.
According to Prym, the point of these needles is slightly rounded, and they suit most woven fabrics: cotton, linen and light curtain fabrics, as well as light and heavy fabrics depending on the size. The shank is flat, and they are intended for all standard home machines.
The needle system
The 130/705H system, also called HAx1 or 15x1, is the system used by most home sewing machines: Singer, Brother, Janome, Bernina, Pfaff, Toyota, home Juki and more. The needle shank has a flat side, which on most machines faces the back, so the needle cannot be inserted the wrong way round. Industrial machines use other systems, such as DBx1, so these needles do not fit them. Home overlockers and coverstitch machines sometimes use a special version of the system, so check the machine manual.
Common uses
Silk, fine satin and lining.
Shirts in fine cotton and voile.

Pro tips
Sew a few centimeters on a scrap of the same fabric before starting.
Change the needle at the start of every project and right after hitting a pin.
Return used needles to a separate compartment; don't mix them with new ones.
Common mistakes
One needle for every fabric. Choose the size by fabric thickness.
Sewing fine jersey with a universal needle. Knits need a ballpoint point.
Sewing over pins. The needle gets damaged and may break.
How to choose a size
The number on the needle is its thickness in hundredths of a millimeter. The higher it is, the thicker the needle:
60/8: Very fine fabrics: chiffon, organza, fine silk and microfiber.
70/10–75/11: Fine, light fabrics: silk, lining, fine viscose and fine cotton.
80/12: Light to medium fabrics: cotton, poplin, viscose, crepe and bed linen.
90/14: Medium to heavy fabrics: linen, gabardine, light wool and corduroy.
100/16: Heavy fabrics: denim, canvas, upholstery fabrics and coats.

How many needles come in the pack?
5 needles per pack.
How often should I change a sewing machine needle?
At the start of every project, whenever you switch to a different type of fabric, and right after the needle has hit a pin, zipper or button. A click with every stitch, skipped stitches or breaking thread are signs that the needle is dull.
How do you insert a needle into a home machine?
Lower the presser foot, raise the needle to its highest point and loosen the clamp screw. Insert the needle all the way, with the flat side of the shank facing the back in most machines, and tighten the screw.
Can I buy a quantity for a business or a school?
