I saw another post this morning regarding machine needles. While I was searching for something else I went out to the Schmetz website and found tons of good information, so I thought I would pass the link on for those who might be interested.

Here is the link to the Needle Primer which is a great quide to the differences in the types of needles.

Thank You for the good info. I didn't know there was such a thing as a doubled eye needle. sounds like fun to use. I will pass this info. along to a friend who just had a problem sewing some heavy woven fabric. I bet she was using the wrong needle.
