Just what I was looking for as a new quilter with old eyes.
How often should a needle be changed?
Hello Fran,
Here’s what the experts had to say about your question:
Some recommend changing a needle after every, roughly 6 to 8 hours of sewing. I sometimes find that difficult to keep track of, so I recommend changing the needle after every project or two or as soon as you start noticing any issues like skipped stitches.
Cheers,
Ashley
