Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Schmetz needles with a Singer sewing machine?

Yes — Schmetz 130/705H needles are compatible with virtually all home sewing machines including Singer, Brother, Janome, Bernina, Baby Lock, and more.

Where are Schmetz needles made?

Schmetz needles are manufactured in Herzogenrath, Germany, where the company has been producing precision sewing needles since 1851.

What do the numbers on Schmetz needles mean?

Schmetz needles use a dual sizing system — the European metric size (60–110) and the American size (8–18). A larger number means a thicker needle. For most quilting and general sewing, 75/11 or 80/12 is the standard starting point.

How often should I change my sewing machine needle?

Schmetz recommends changing your needle every 8–10 hours of sewing time, or at the start of each new project. A fresh needle is the single easiest way to improve stitch quality.

Are Schmetz Needles Compatible with My Machine?

Schmetz needles use the 130/705H system and fit virtually all home sewing machines — including Singer, Brother, Janome, Bernina, Baby Lock, and more. Serger-specific models use the ELx705 system. If you're unsure which needle fits your machine, our in-store team across our Naples, Sarasota, and Jupiter locations is happy to help.

Why Choose Schmetz?
