Which needle for which fabric? The wrong needle is a top cause of skipped stitches and snapped thread.

Quick Singer guide:
- Universal (red band): everyday woven, natural and synthetic fabrics
- Denim (blue band): thick, heavy fabric
- Microtex (black band): fine, tightly woven fabric
- Embroidery (white band): rayon, polyester and specialty thread
- Stretch (yellow band): knits and stretchy fabric
- Leather (olive band): leather

Sizes: 70/10 for light fabric, 80/12 and 90/14 for medium, 100/16 and up for heavy fabric. The lower the number, the finer the needle.

Tip: change your needle after every project or about 8 hours of sewing.

Maintenance tip from Archie's: clean the lint out of your bobbin area. Lint builds up fast and causes skipped stitches, thread jams and noisy sewing. Switch the machine off, remove the needle plate and bobbin case, then brush out the lint (don't blow it in, it pushes dust deeper). Do it after every big project. Machine still acting up? Our technicians do repairs in the workshop and call-outs across Gauteng, Mpumalanga and nationwide. Call 068 440 8320 or visit archiesmachines.co.za. 2134 Blackseed Center, Embalenhle.
