Product description
ORGAN Universal Needles Size 70/10
ORGAN needles for home sewing machines, from a Japanese needle manufacturer based in Ueda, Nagano Prefecture. The needles are in the 130/705H system with a universal point, which is slightly rounded and suits most woven fabrics. The pack contains 5 needles in size 70/10. This is a thin needle for fine, delicate fabrics.
Needle System: Is It Right for Your Machine
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 in most machines faces 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 your machine manual.
Common Uses
Sewing chiffon, organza, silk and fine satin.
Sewing linings.
Blouses in fine cotton and voile.
Delicate seams that should not leave holes.
Who It's For
Seamstresses who work with evening and bridal fabrics, children's clothing makers, and anyone sewing blouses and linings from fine fabrics. For wholesale orders: phone 03-9444226 or WhatsApp 055-2473993.
Professional Tips
Sew a few centimeters on a scrap of the same fabric before you start, and check the seam on both sides.
Match the thread to the needle: the thread should pass freely through the eye and the groove along the needle.
Put used needles back in a separate compartment in the pack and don't mix them with new ones.
Common Mistakes
Sewing with the same needle for many months. A dull needle pulls threads and skips stitches.
Using a universal needle on fine, stretchy knit fabric. For such fabrics a ballpoint needle is the right choice.
Sewing over pins. The needle hits the pin and breaks or bends.
How to Choose a Size
The first number is the thickness of the needle in hundredths of a millimeter, and the second is the American number. The higher the number, the thicker the needle and the heavier the fabric it suits:
70/10: fine fabrics: chiffon, organza, silk, lining and fine cotton.
80/12: light and medium fabrics: cotton, poplin, viscose, crepe and bed linen. The range for most jobs.
90/14: medium and heavy fabrics: linen, gabardine, light wool, corduroy and curtain fabrics.
100/16: heavy fabrics: denim, canvas, upholstery fabrics, coats and thick layers.
All ORGAN sizes, and needles for knit fabrics, can be found in Home Sewing Machine Needles. A full needle-selection guide is in Needles.

Frequently asked questions

70/10: 0.70 mm thick. A thin needle for thin and delicate fabrics.
Which fabrics is a 70/10 needle suitable for?
For chiffon, organza, silk, thin satin, lining and thin cotton.
Why not sew thin fabric with a thick needle?
A thick needle leaves holes, pulls threads in the fabric and may pull the fabric into the needle plate.
Which thread suits a 70/10 needle?
A fine thread, such as regular polyester thread or silk thread. A thick thread will not pass freely through the eye.
What is the difference between 70/10 and 80/12?
70/10 is thinner and suits delicate fabrics. 80/12 suits cotton and light and medium fabrics.
Which machines are the needles suitable for?
Most home sewing machines that work with the 130/705H system (HAx1 or 15x1): Singer, Brother, Janome, Bernina, Pfaff, Toyota and more. They are not suitable for industrial machines.
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?
Yes. For a wholesale order: phone 03-9444226 or WhatsApp 055-2473993.
