I plan to be kinder to my machines in 2011! |
the recommendation for needle life is change it with every new project or every 8 hours of sewing time - which ever comes first. some fabrics are a little (rough) on needles though and you may need to change it sooner. also if you hit a pin or a foot and bend the needle it should be changed. :thumbup:

When I hear that certain crunch sounds when it hit's the fabric!

If I could buy needles without driving 100 miles round trip I would change more often but tend to hoard them so only change if there is a problem.

When it bends or breaks! lol
