   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
