Product description
Prym Sewing Machine Needles 130R/705 – Size 60, 10 Needles
Fine Prym needles in size 60, 10 needles per box. This is a very thin needle for extra-delicate fabrics. 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, 10 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.
Common Uses
Chiffon, organza and fine silk.
Microfiber and fine lining fabrics.
Delicate seams in evening and bridal wear.
Sewing with extra-fine thread.

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.

How often should I change a sewing machine needle?
At the start of every project, whenever you switch to a different type of fabric, and right after the needle has hit a pin, zipper or button. A click with every stitch, skipped stitches or breaking thread are signs that the needle is dull.
How do I insert a needle into a home machine?
Lower the presser foot, raise the needle to its highest point and loosen the clamp screw. Insert the needle all the way up, with the flat side of the shank facing back in most machines, and tighten the screw.
