What size needle is for heavy material?

The larger the needle the better for materials. Often something called a Jean/denim needle might be what you are looking for. But you didn't say what kind of heavy material. Yes it makes a difference. Heavy Pack Cloth nylon but with waterproof backing might infuence. Some nylons do better with a ball point head others need a sharper point. Many microfiber fabrics do best with a sharp point not ball because it can dull the needle quickly. So having mentioned that the 110/18 is the largest among this grouping offered. And the next down would be 100/16. I use the 90/14 pretty much standard across the board for the type of heavy duty sewing I often do. I sew with lots of tapestry fabrics which can be very heavy some with extra backing I would go up one or two sizes. Denim does ok with ballpoints usually if all cotton. Some polyester blends do better with a sharp. Do not use sharps on knits I've had them cut some knits so bad it is like you cut right along with scissors through the fabric as you sewed leaving you with two pieces not a seam. Anyway the rule of thumb is larger for heavy fabric. I actually like a 20 and even larger but these can be hard to find. Hope it helps and good luck with your projects.

I use #10 needles. Big eye beading needles and any tapestry needle will work also. What.t is probably more relevant is what size beads you are using.

The size of the needle. The higher the number the thinner the needle. A 30 or 32 is very comfortable for me.

It's the strength. The length and the thickness should be the same. Get the 80 lb string if you want more power

Thread I got with mine was tan in color, i ordered an extra spool and it was black. Needle was average size no idea what size that is but it works good on heavy canvas.

The needle probe is more fragile. I wouldn't bend it. This probe doesn't have the physical mass of the regular probe.

I usually heat my needles up to go from a tight 7RL to a 7RL loose Liner or tight 9RL to a 9RL loose Liner to get a boxier thick line and it works just fine. The armature bar / springs work fine for what it is, but I updated mine with better replacement parts as the frame was solid but it needed tuning for sure. If your machine isn't working with bigger size needles, you may need to adjust your front spring / contact to get a bigger or lesser throw. Try it out...

This needles are metal and have a big hole to use with yarn or heavier sinew in case you are using it for making dream catchers. I used with High School students and they don't even bend, they are sturdy.

The 14 are thicker needles, suitable for denim. They can leave wholes in lighter weight cottons. Denim/jeans thread is thicker too. I use 11 for most fabrics and 8-9 for lighter or more fragile fabric (silk, linings etc.) Use 11 for wools, cottons.

You may want to look at a larger bicycle tire pump for a large exercise ball. This pump is small and really only usefull for up to a full size basketball. As for the needle you will need to refer to the ball manufacturer.

I am not gonna lie and say "yes" as it's not the same needle we're using. We use some from Walgreens called Super thin Syringes for insulin, 29 gauge, 1.0 mL volume, 1/2" (12.7 mm) needle length. Hope that helps you

.030 guage. They can be used for silk depending on how fine the silk is. If it is very fine, you might want to use a thinner pin.

Ok this one has a 15 gauge needle, the larger the number for the gauge the thinner the needle will be so depending on how thin you want just go with a higher gauge number.

I no longer own this machine. However, It's for medium weight and leather may break the needle

Hi good question! I actually have 3 differnet needle lengths and yes you can. I would use the smal needle though and don't press to hard.

3/8, 7/16, or 1/2 inch nylon rope would work fine. Becareful not to exceed the tensile strength of whatever rope you use. Cheers.
