Understanding Needle Sizes (70/10 - 90/14):
Needle size is denoted by a two-number system, with the first number indicating the shank diameter (thickness) and the second number indicating the needle length in hundredths of a millimeter. Here's a general guideline:
Smaller Sizes (70/10 - 80/11): Ideal for fine, delicate fabrics like silk, chiffon, or knits. These needles have a thinner shank to prevent fabric damage.
Medium Sizes (80/12 - 90/14): Most versatile for a wide range of fabrics, including cotton, wool, and lightweight denim. These needles offer a balance between strength and fineness.
Remember: Always consult your sewing machine manual or the fabric manufacturer's recommendations for the appropriate needle size for your project.
