Product description
Prym Sewing Machine Needles – Assorted Sizes 75 to 90
A pack of Prym universal needles in sizes 75 to 90, for light and medium fabrics. Each needle has a colored band on the shank that helps tell the sizes apart. 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 fine curtain fabrics, as well as light and heavy fabrics depending on size. The shank is flat, and they are designed for all standard home machines.
The 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 models and more. The needle shank has a flat side, which on most machines faces the 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 overlock and coverstitch machines sometimes use a special version of the system, so check your machine manual.

Pro tips
Sew a few centimeters on a scrap of the same fabric before starting.
Change the needle at the start of every project and right after hitting a pin.
Keep used needles in a separate compartment and do not mix them with new ones.
Common mistakes
One needle for all fabrics. Choose the size by the thickness of the fabric.
Sewing thin jersey with a universal needle. Knits call for a ballpoint tip.
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 to medium fabrics: cotton, poplin, viscose, crepe and bed linen.
90/14: medium to heavy fabrics: linen, gabardine, light wool and corduroy.
100/16: heavy fabrics: denim, canvas, upholstery fabrics and coats.
All machine needles, including Prym, ORGAN and knit-fabric needles, are in Home Sewing Machine Needles. For a full needle selection guide, see Needles.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Which sizes are in the set?
Sizes 75 to 90, for light and medium fabrics.
Why are there colored stripes on the needles?
The stripe on the shank helps you tell the sizes apart, even when the needle is already out of the box.
Who is the set suitable for?
For anyone who mainly sews light and medium fabrics and wants a suitable needle for every thickness.
Which needle in the set suits cotton?
Size 80. For linen and medium-to-heavy fabrics, 90 is suitable.
Is the set suitable for denim?
For thick denim, a size 100 needle is better. In this set the thickest size is 90.
Which machines are the needles suitable for?
Most home sewing machines that work with the 130/705H system (HAx1 or 15x1): Singer, Brother, Janome, Bernina, Pfaff, Toyota and more. They are not suitable for industrial machines.
How many needles are in the pack?
5 needles in the pack.
How often should a sewing machine needle be replaced?
At the start of every project, whenever you switch to a different type of fabric, and right after the needle hits a pin, a zipper or a button. A click with every stitch, skipped stitches or a thread that breaks 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.
Can I buy a quantity for a business or a school?
Yes. For a wholesale order: phone 03-9444226 or WhatsApp 055-2473993.
