Product description
Prym Sewing Machine Needles – Size 80
Prym universal needles in size 80, 5 needles per box. This is the size for most everyday jobs. The needles come in a clear plastic Prym box, 5 needles per pack.
According to Prym, the tip of these needles is slightly rounded, and they suit most woven fabrics: cotton, linen and fine 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.
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.

Pro tips
Sew a few centimetres on a scrap of the same fabric before starting.
Change the needle at the start of every project and right after hitting a pin.
Put used needles in a separate compartment, and do not mix them with new ones.
Common mistakes
One needle for all fabrics. Choose the size by fabric thickness.
Sewing thin jersey with a universal needle. Knit fabrics need a ballpoint tip.
Sewing over pins. The needle is damaged and may break.
How to choose a size
The number on the needle is its thickness in hundredths of a millimetre. The higher it is, the thicker the needle:
60/8: very thin fabrics: chiffon, organza, fine silk and microfibre.
70/10–75/11: thin and light fabrics: silk, lining, fine viscose and fine cotton.
80/12: light and medium fabrics: cotton, poplin, viscose, crepe and bed linen.
90/14: medium and heavy fabrics: linen, gabardine, light wool and corduroy.
100/16: heavy fabrics: jeans, canvas, upholstery fabrics and coats.
All machine needles, from Prym and ORGAN, and needles for knit fabrics, are in Home Sewing Machine Needles. A full needle-choosing guide is in Needles.

Which fabrics is a size 80 needle suitable for?

What is the difference between 80 and 70?
70 is finer and suits delicate fabrics. 80 suits light and medium fabrics.
Is a size 80 needle suitable for jersey?
For thin, stretchy jersey, a needle with a ballpoint tip is better.
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 a sewing machine needle be replaced?
At the start of every project, whenever you switch to a different type of fabric, and right after the needle hits a pin, a zipper or a button. A click with every stitch, skipped stitches or a thread that breaks 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 wholesale orders: phone 03-9444226 or WhatsApp 055-2473993.
