SCHMETZ household sewing machine needles

How do I find the right needle for my sewing machine?

Simply use our filters!

The following two needle types are generally used for household sewing machines: System 130/705 (flat shank) and System 287 WH / 1738 (round shank). Of these two, the 130/705 system is more widely used today.

The thickness of the needle is given in 1/100 millimeters. Example: NM70 = 0.7mm or NM100 = 1.0mm. You can also find the name from the USA such as 12/80. Both values included indicate the same needle size: the first number (12/..) according to the outdated Singer standard, the second (../80) according to the modern NM standard.
The width of the needle eye is usually 40% of the needle diameter.

Tip
Adjust the needle size to the sewing material and the sewing thread. The thicker the material and the sewing thread, the thicker the needle should be.

Packaging: SB = self-service = blister-packed (for hanging and presenting, often used in specialist retailers and major distributors)
