Product description
Needles Size 100/16, Made in Japan
Needles for home sewing machines, made in Japan. System HAx1 (also marked 15x1/705), size 100/16. The eye area has a gold finish that stands out against the metal. Each pack holds 5 needles in a clear box.
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 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 overlockers and coverstitch machines sometimes use a special version of the system, so check the machine manual.
Common uses

Pro tips
On thick fabrics, slow down when crossing seams and turn the handwheel by hand when needed.
Match a thick thread or jeans thread to the needle thickness.
Replace a needle right after it hits a pin or button.
Common mistakes
Using a 100/16 needle on thin fabrics. It leaves holes.
Sewing too fast over thick layers. The needle bends and may break.
