Product description
Prym Sewing Machine Needles 130R/705 – Assorted Sizes 70 to 100
A pack of Prym needles in sizes 70 to 100, from fine fabric to denim. Each needle has a colored band that helps you tell the sizes apart. The box is marked with the 130R/705 system: the needle family for home sewing machines, with a regular point. The needles come in a clear Prym plastic box, 5 needles per pack.
According to Prym, the point of these needles is slightly rounded, and they suit most woven fabrics: cotton, linen and light curtain fabrics, as well as light and heavy fabrics depending on the size. The shank is flat, and they are intended for all standard home machines.
Needle System
The 130/705H system, also called HAx1 or 15x1, is the system used by most home sewing machines: Singer, Brother, Janome, Bernina, Pfaff, Toyota, home Juki and more. The needle shank has a flat side, which in most machines faces back, so the needle cannot be inserted the wrong way round. Industrial machines use other systems, such as DBx1, so these needles do not fit them. Home overlockers and coverstitch machines sometimes use a special version of the system, so check your machine manual.

Professional Tips
Sew a few centimeters on a scrap of the same fabric before you start.
Change the needle at the start of every project and right after hitting a pin.
Put used needles back in a separate compartment and don't mix them with new ones.
Common Mistakes
One needle for all fabrics. Choose the size according to the thickness of the fabric.
Sewing fine jersey with a universal needle. For knits, a ballpoint needle is the right choice.
Sewing over pins. The needle gets damaged and may break.
How to Choose a Size
The number on the needle is its thickness in hundredths of a millimeter. The higher the number, the thicker the needle:
60/8: very fine fabrics: chiffon, organza, fine silk and microfiber.
70/10–75/11: fine, light fabrics: silk, lining, fine viscose and fine cotton.
80/12: light and medium fabrics: cotton, poplin, viscose, crepe and bed linen.
90/14: medium and heavy fabrics: linen, gabardine, light wool and corduroy.
100/16: heavy fabrics: denim, canvas, upholstery fabrics and coats.
All machine needles, from Prym, ORGAN and needles for knit fabrics, are in Home Sewing Machine Needles. A full needle-selection guide is in Needles.
