Euro-Notions 1712Jean & Denim Machine Needles-Size 16/100 5/Pkg

UPDATE: I have found the 90/14 Sharp needles to be perfect due to the fact that it has a bigger thread hole so the sewing machine needle threader will tend to work easier due the hook on the machine threader device having a bigger area to fit through. Anyone who has had trouble with the machine threader working knows exactly what I am talking about. Once you get used to to your machine threader working most of the time, youll find it hard to go back to a smaller sized needle with all the troubles of the threader working on a hit or miss situation. Yes it leaves a bigger hole than the 80/12 but only one size bigger and well worth it - IMHO. The 16/100 denim is perfect for thick denim or anything with seams that have numerous layers of fabric. It is a thick needle so be aware.

This is an obligatory comment so they can stop asking how great this product is.

They worked fine when it was just the denim. Not stronger than I expected.

I think I bought the wrong needle but I used it anyway and it worked. I was supposed to use a Singer needle.

This works well. All needles break but this is great when you have very thick fabric or layers of fabric to sew!

Sharp, straight, does the job on denim material. Can easily sew through the denim hems as well. A Jean-a-ma-jig makes a great pairing with this item.

Will be buying more of these when they bend or break

I always turn to this brand of sewing machine needles for their quality. Availability of size and variety very attractive for any seamstress / quilter.

Worked perfectly to hem a pair of mens medium weight denim jeans.

Bought these to bind a quilt with a very heavy textile because regular needles kept snapping off. These are tough little needles but still broke 2 and had to have neighbor finish project on her industrial machine (not because of poor product, rather too heavy of a project).
