Simple Sewing Needle Guide


And here we go right into it.  Judy Hammond has been gracious enough to give away some more of her sewing secrets.  Here is a list of needle numbers and what they are for...
 
Sewing Needle Number Guide   

 
Light Fabric

7-9

Light to Medium

10-12

Medium

14

Denim

16

Canvas to Heavy

18-20
These numbers coincide with Stretch, Universal, or Upholstery.  Obviously it doesn't have serger needles, double needles or anything too complicated like some of the super thick 20's but it should help us naïve seamstress' like me. 
 
As I learn more I will relay the information back to you. Keep on crafting.
