Choosing the correct needle size for your fabric can make a world of difference in any sewing project. But how do you know which size is best for your work? A needle's size is determined by its thickness, also called the needle gauge. The US needle sizing system ranges from 0 to 40, with higher numbers representing thicker needles, and lower numbers indicating thinner needles. For lighter fabrics, choosing a thinner sewing machine needle will help prevent skipped stitches and fabric damage. Or, try a thicker needle on heavy fabrics to avoid needle and thread breakage. You can also reduce your chances of fabric damage and needle breakage by changing your machine needle regularly—it’s recommended to change a needle after approximately 8 hours of use
