Stylish D Tailors's video: You re Letting THIS Stop You From Getting EXCELLENT Fitting Clothes

The bad news: there are a lot of different sewing machine needles. The good news: you only need two—universal and denim needles. When I started, I was overwhelmed by all the tools and settings, especially sewing machine needles. But trust me, you'll mainly use a universal needle for almost everything. It's versatile and reliable. For thicker materials like jeans, leather, or canvas, you'll switch to a denim needle. Sure, there are ballpoint, microtex, and jersey needles, but for tailoring t-shirts, dress shirts, pants, and chinos, the universal needle will cover you 90% of the time. I rarely use the other types and don't even know where they are. You can get all your needles at Walmart for about $3, or Jo-Ann Fabrics if that's your thing (though I have a love-hate relationship with them). Just be aware of pretentious salespeople there. Needles have two sizes: European and American. The European size ranges from 60 (for thinner materials) to 120 (for thicker materials), and the American size goes from 8 to 19. They’re combined, so a 60/8 needle is for delicate fabrics, and a 120/19 needle is for heavy-duty stuff. The universal needle is an 80/12—perfect for most tasks. Oh, and pro tip: change your needle regularly, especially after a tailoring spree. It keeps your work clean and efficient. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🔴 Beginner's course and DIY tailoring tutorials 🔴 https://stylishdtailors.com 📣 Say THANK YOU with a donation, it's greatly appreciated! 📣 https://ko-fi.com/stylishd Twitter - @Stylishdtailors Insta - @Stylishdtailors 📫 Business Inquires ONLY 📫 Business@Stylishdtailors.com 🔴 Brand Deals: post.market/StylishD 🔴 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases 👊🏾GREAT All Around Beginners Sewing Machine https://amzn.to/3WF2mIG 👊🏾DIY Hand Sewing Kit https://amzn.to/3fGx39G --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brush patterns and shapes were provided by https://www.brusheezy.com
