about machine needles
I'm doing a minor alteration on a denim garment for my sister (5" total). I thought I had read that I might need a "sharp" needle, as there are 8 layers of fabric in places. I stopped at my local chain fabric store to pick up some "sharp" machine needles today. They didn't have any "sharps", but they had "denim" needles (Schmetz). Four needles for $9.95.
I need to know more about Needles. Any suggestions for good information?
