3 CreativeSewandVac.com Page 3 Sewing Tip of the Month Remember, the recommended time for a needle is around eight hours. If you have poor stitch quality, it is usually a result of the needle or thread. You can also damage the machine with the dull needle. Do not risk placing a burr on the machine hook or knocking the machine out of timing because of not changing the needle. A needle is a lot more affordable than a repair. Also, use the right needle for the project. Selecting the right needle for the job can make all the difference in the world on the finished work. This app provides a comprehensive reference to SCHMETZ needles for household sewing machines. Includes updated color code information. This app will help you choose the right needle for your sewing application. Increase your sewing skill by learning about the various types of needles available. Learn to spot the signs that it might be time to change your sewing machine needle. Use this app to sew better with SCHMETZ! Sewing Classes for 2015 We will begin to post our sewing classes for 2015 very soon. We are very busy planning and making samples for next year. If there is a class, you would like for us to consider, please let us know. We will continue our club classes for next year. The club classes were a great success.
