Replacing the needle in a sewing machine is a simple but essential task that ensures the machine operates smoothly and produces high-quality stitches. A dull or damaged needle can cause skipped stitches, fabric puckering, and even damage to the machine itself.
The frequency of needle replacement varies depending on the type of fabric being sewn, the thread used, and the age of the needle. As a general rule, it’s a good idea to replace the needle after every 8-10 hours of sewing time. If you’re working with heavy fabrics or thick threads, you may need to replace the needle more often.
