SCHMETZ | Universal Needles | 80/12

These 80/12 needles work perfectly on quilting cotton and don’t skip stitches on knits either. I’ve already sewn through several layers of woven fabric without any breakage, so the pack of five will last me a while.

The 80/12 size glides through denim like butter—way smoother than my old generic pack. I’ve already sewn two face masks and a mending job without any skipped stitches.

I was so tired of my machine skipping stitches, but these needles glided through a cotton-polyester blend and a lightweight knit without a single snag. The universal design really lives up to its name—saved me from switching needles mid-project.
