Longarm Needles-Standard Sharp Point (R)
Description
Handi Quilter proudly offers high-quality Groz-Beckert longarm needles, which are specifically made for longarm quilting machine use. Handi Quilter longarm machines use the 134 needle system. Our needle packs come with 20 needles – two packages of 10. Standard needles come in multiple sizes please refer to photo of chart to determine which size you may need. These standard needles will work in any Handi Quilter Machine, however not recommended for the Infinity(see high speed needle description below).
The R (sharp) point style needles are for general quilting using typical quilt fabrics and an array of thread types.
The MR (multi directional) point style needles are engineered to handle the demands that longarm machines put on the needle – high speed, thick layers of fabric, and multi-directional use. The deep scarf and flexibility of these needles prevent skipped stitches, less puckering, and less thread breakage. We recommend using this system of needles when using the Infinity machine, micro quilting, or when experiencing thread shredding.
The FG (ball point) point style needles have a rounded tip designed to easily penetrate fabric with less damage then a sharper point. This can be preferable when quilting through tightly woven fabrics, batiks, knits, and t-shirts.
How often should you change your needle? Every quilt deserves a new needle! Needles are relatively inexpensive and a new needle goes a long way in ensuring the best quilting results.
So what size needle should you be using? The needle size correlates to the weight of your thread. That thicker the thread, the larger the needle size.
