As fun as sewing is, we all know when the frustration sets in…
• Thread cutting
• fabric puckering
And so on……
What could be the cause?
At the fashion college – Ibadancity Fashion College- we had an instructor who was nicknamed “Mr Change your needle ” he would tell anyone who came to ask him to fix their sewing machines if they had changed the needle.
He understood that many problems come from using a wrong needle to sew, and this leads to other small issues.
No matter how beautiful or strong your sewing machine is, the needle can make it malfunction if any of the following happens.
● Using Dull Needles
How often do you change your needles?
If you are constant on your machine, try to use a new needle daily if possible. It’s not costly, so it’s a low maintenance issue. It saves you a lot of stress. Dull needles pucker the fabric and can cause real damages to soft fabrics like silk, chiffon, satin even some cotton fabrics.
Bent Needles
Will keep hitting your machine and making strange sounds. The danger of this is it can cause damages to the sewing machine plates.
Wrong Size and Wrong type of needle
We have different brands and these brands may have the same sizes, the fineness of the sizes differ. A size 16 violin (brand) is different from a size 16 butterfly or orange brand etc. It’s safe to have different brands and sizes in your haberdashery.
If you’re not using industrial sewing machine, HA type is most suitable, although you can settle for DB, DP is also common In the market but the problem of DP is its too strong for some machines and fabrics.
Know Your Tools – it makes your work easier and smoother.
