Schmetz Universal Sewing Machine Needles - Size 80/12-3 Cards - 30 Needles

Couldn't beat the price and I am not lotlyal to many brands overall, but I learned years agi not to bother with anything but Schmetz needles for my machines. I thought I was a terrible sewist until I finally tried Schmetz. Doesn't matter what fabric you have, just match the needle type and size (eg universal, microtex, jersey, denim...) and your job becomes exponentially easier. Not going to say they perfected my sewing - even Schmetz needles can't do that, -but they tend to last for quite a while. Few skipped stitches, bent needles, etc. At least not on my vintage Viking machine. The quality is reliably excellent every time, every pack, every size and type. Do yourself a favor and just use Schmetz for your home machine. You'll never go back to the other brands (others might seem like a better deal, but by the time you throw out half a pack on one project because they broke or bent, you will have saved money)

I do a lot of sewing so needles.are essential

Très bien

I haven't used the needles yet, but I expect they are fine, good brand name. I was amused at the enormous envelope they were packed in - 17" x 10" envelope for package of needles 5" x 3".

These are great needles
