What is a 90 14 needle used for?
90/14 needles are great for sewing medium weight fabrics like poplin, broadcloth and muslin. They come in a pack of Schmetz universal needles, which is a great way to get started.
Universal needles have a slightly rounded point and are available in a range of sizes from 60/8 to 110/18. The smaller the number, the finer the needle. As a guide, use a 60/8 needle for lightweight fabrics such as voile, a 70/10 needle for medium-weight fabrics such as quilting cottons and a 90/14 needle for heavyweight fabrics such as denim.

What is the best needle size for beginners?
If you’re just starting out with knitting, it’s best to stick with medium-sized needles. That means needles that are six (4mm), seven (45mm), or eight (5mm) width-wise. For length, a 10-inch needle is usually a good starter size because they’ll be small enough to handle easily.
Bamboo needles are great for beginners and those that like to knit slowly and steadily. The grip of the wooden surface makes sure that your yarn doesn’t slip off the needle. Bamboo needles are easy to find everywhere and they are fairly inexpensive, so it is easy to pick up a set of these needles.
What do you use an 80 11 needle for
The most important thing to remember when choosing a needle size is to match the needle to the fabric weight. Use a size 11 needle with light-weight fabrics and a size 14 needle with medium-weight fabrics. When sewing thick quilts, use a ballpoint size 14 needle. This will ensure that your stitches are even and your fabric is not damaged.

Needles come in different sizes to accommodate different fabrics. A t-shirt is typically made of light fabric, so a smaller needle, such as a 9 (DB9) is usually used. This needle size is also known as size 65 in the European system. But for stitching on joints where more fabric bulk is present, a larger needle, such as a 10 (DB10)/70, is used.
Does needle size matter sewing?
When choosing a sewing machine needle, always consider the type of fabric you are working with. For example, if you are working with a delicate fabric, you will want to use a smaller needle. Conversely, if you are working with a thick fabric, you will want to use a larger needle.
In addition to the fabric, also consider the type of thread you are using. Different types of thread will require different types of needles. For example, if you are using a fine thread, you will want to use a needle with a smaller eye. Conversely, if you are using a thick thread, you will want to use a needle with a larger eye.
Finally, always make sure that the needle you choose is compatible with your sewing machine. Different machines require different types of needles. Consult your sewing machine’s manual to find out which needles are compatible with your machine.
