I have watched thousands of videos about sewing and this one was one of the BEST of all time! THANK YOU!
Wow thank you so very much for saying that. I worked very hard to deliver the facts and in a clear and concise manor. I hope you share with your sewing friends and help spread the word. :)
@@SookieSews I definitely will. I know a lot of us are news and when we ask, people just say to use this size needle or that size but never why. This explains it all!
:)
Thank you. I LOVE their chart and your video.
Another great thing about Schmetz needles is: the package!
The color photo, right behind the package, shows a sample of the type of fabric for that needle (like denim).
Don’t work for Schmetz, just like their needles.
What a great reminder and yes I agree I love them :)
Great presentation. I saved this video.
Yay!! Thank you and please do share :) if you have specific needle questions, let me know and I’ll get back with you :)
super video and have booklet needle guide from schetz too but seeing it what needle work more valule to me
Yay!! Thanks for posting :)
There is also a Schmitz app, for your phone or device. It does have explanations, etc.
Yes that’s right. Thanks for reminding me :)
Great info!! Awesome job, as always ❤️
You’re so sweet. I always appreciate your kind words :)
Lots of great Information. Thank you for sharing this.
You’re very welcome - thank you for taking the time to comment.
"Liked" - Well made informative videos for novice. Thank you!!!
You are very welcome!!
Thanks, Sue, really good video, excellent info on needles, the differences and uses! Saving and sharing with sewing students.
Thank you! I sure appreciate you’re sharing :)
Just discovered your channel yesterday & I'm so glad I did! I'm new to sewing & this video in particular came at the perfect time. I'm about to hem some pants & haven't touched my machine in months (started not quite a year ago & didn't do a lot due to life stuff) so I don't remember what needle I have in my machine & was trying to come up with a way to prevent this in the future, so when you showed that My Pad, I gasped & paused the video to go order it. Thank you so much for this video, I'll be downloading the info sheets!
Awesome and welcome Amy!! I’m so glad you found me. Dig through some of my videos and if you’re wanting to make some easy sewing projects look at my playlist. I just hemmed three pair of pants today (I’m 5’ so I’m always hemming stuff) and it’s a great feeling to do it yourself and save $$$ That MyPad has saved me so much trouble on needles. czcams.com/play/PLbwpCJXJ_Jr57bZ3WSls002mUVBVHHGyt.html
@@SookieSews Will do! I just hemmed a pair of pajama pants (I'm 5'1" & the Mr. is about 5'5"). I did pretty good but like I said it had been a while. These are definitely easier than the denim jeans I need to do next. I'll for sure check out your videos!
Thank you 😊, being on a very tight buget I made pin cushion just for my machine needles so I could have a little longer life not by much, but enough to reach the next purchase \project Made from steel wool of course.
What a clever idea. So does the steel wool sharpen the needles?
Thank you! Just on time.. all my needle sewing machine broke.. really looking into schmetz but don't know which i should buy.. so many numberssss
Yes! The best place to start is the Universal 80/12. Watch the section about the “5 most common needles” again, those are the ones I’d recommend you begin with. Then you’ve got a nice selection. I’m here if you have specific questions. Sookie :)
@@SookieSews Thank you so much 💖
I just discovered this channel and it’s amazing. I love the thoroughness of the videos she posts. She doesn’t miss any step and step description. I had a question regarding nylon zippers. I break needles every time I sew across them. Can someone help please?!? What needle do I use? I haven’t seen a tutorial on how to sew across them 😕
Wow, thank you! I really appreciate that sweet review. As for stitching over zippers, it depends on the type of zipper. There are essentially three types of zippers: Plastic, Nylon Coil, and Metal. I don't stitch over any of them except the Nylon Coil, usually with a Universal needle size 80/12. You might also watch my video here exactly at 9:41 seconds where I sew over a nylon coil zipper. This is a widder zipper too, pay close attention to my tips and tricks. czcams.com/video/zw_x11aTgUY/video.html
@@SookieSews thank you so much for your response. I’m obsessed with your channel. For a beginner your channel is perfect because you some assume the viewer doesn’t know how to perform any step. You walk through everything, which I love.
Thanks for the instructions with nylon zippers. When dealing with plastic zippers, do you have any advice or videos I can watch? Thanks so much
I sure appreciate you subscribing and becoming apart of our Sewing Beehive :)
As for plastic zippers I’m not a huge fan of them so I can’t think of any videos I’ve used them on but typically I’d use my hand wheel to sew slowly over them and even if it means move the fabric/zipper along the way to help prevent the needle even going through the zipper then I’d do that. You might check out my friend Annie from ByAnnie.com. She sells zippers and has gobs of videos on how to install them. I bet she’s got some tips on plastic zippers.

@@SookieSews thank you so so much!!!
My pleasure
What a helpful video! I didn't know there were different kinds of knit needles!
Speaking of those, I've always thought that one had to have a serger in order to sew knits. (And I don't own one.) Can a person sew knit fabrics using a knit needle in a basic machine?
Thanks so much, Sookie!
Yes absolutely!! A serger is a useful way to finish edges and you can even sew the entire garment on a serger in many cases but a sewing machine can sew knits as long as you use the right needle. You might consider a “stretch” stitch too. It looks sorta like a teeny tiny angled zigzag stitch. Let me k no ow of you have any other questions.
@@SookieSews thank you so much! I will have to buy some knit needles to get started!
Thanks, I learned what the numbers mean.
Very good! Do me a favor and share with a friend :)
Damn I thought I would have known everything. But I just learned that my sewing machine is making a clicking noise because the needle weren't in all the way.
LOL! We all can learn new things. That is why I love having friends in the sewing world who are smarter than me, I learn all the time from them :) Thanks for leaving a comment :)
Well, I learned that sometimes it’s the needle, but sometimes it’s the machine. I did not know that beginner machines may not have the “horsepower” to force a needle through denim, canvas, etc.
Often times they just don’t. I learned that from Rhonda from SCHMETZneedles
ok i was wrong, i apologize i am just tired an sleepy. its late here
why do you all always make it so difficult to get something from your website, I can't and don't see the cheat sheet when i go to the link, and then we do go to the link you all always want someone to sign in. you have a great information video but why so difficult to get the downloads
Glad you figured it out.
I tired to get the cheat sheet. I signed up for the newsletter but did not see a way to get the sheet and there is no link in my email.
Sorry about that. Send me an email at info@sookiesews.com
