I can sew for 8 hours a day sometimes. If I changed every 8 hours I would go through 30 needles in a month. I usually break mine by having the wrong foot on. I know they say to change all the time but I don't.

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trks...at=0&_from=R40 if you search on EBay.com you can see just how cheap you can buy 100 lots of needles. I agree with Cagey's post as in my 1st workshop the tutor said the most important part of caring for your machine is the needle.

Even though you're sewing for 8 hours in a day, you probably don't run the machine for a continuous 8 hours.
