Sewing machine needles from Schmetz are widely recognized for their outstanding quality.

So what sets the Jeans Gold version apart from standard jeans needles?

• Special blade (shank) design

• Medium ballpoint tip

• Extra-durable wear protection coating

The wear protection coating is noticeably harder than a standard coating, which significantly extends the needle’s lifespan. As a result, Jeans Gold needles need replacing less frequently than regular jeans needles. This makes them the ideal choice for anyone who frequently sews with denim.

Medium ballpoint: The slightly rounded tip slips more easily between the fabric fibers instead of piercing them. This allows the needle to pass smoothly through dense, heavy materials without damaging the fabric. Because less force is required to penetrate the material, the risk of needle breakage is reduced.

Naturally, jeans sewing machine needles are perfect for denim. They are also highly suitable for sturdy fabrics such as canvas, twill, tarpaulin, and oilskin.

Pro tip: Love making bags? These strong needles are perfect for bag projects, as they sew through thick seams and multiple layers with ease.

Sewing other fabrics?
When working with jersey, stretch fabrics, leather, or other specialty materials, always choose a needle designed specifically for that fabric type for the best results. Also pay attention to the needle size (NM): lightweight fabrics require a finer needle, while heavier fabrics call for a thicker one.

TIP: a needle kan work for 8 hours, afterward it is blunt and needs replacing.

That does not mean that you have to exchange the needle after one day. Look at it this way: if you should push the pedal and keep it sewing for 8 hours straight the needle is blunt 
Easiest way is to put a new needle in the machine when starting a new project...
