Some say after every project, while others feel the need to change them after eight hours. I don&#8217;t know, my machine makes this &#8220;noise&#8221; I know then, I better change the needle or there are going to be some problems. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>After a little searching on a few sites I found enough information to create this <a href=\"https:\/\/lucylou918.wordpress.com\/2015\/08\/04\/needles-demystified\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">downloadable, printable <\/a>chart. \u00a0I think it&#8217;s pretty useful for your sewing room. I really haven&#8217;t paid much attention to the number on the needle. \u00a0I usually go by the name of the needle. \u00a0If I am sewing denim, I buy denim needles.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this chart helped someone other than me, just a little. \ud83d\ude42 ENJOY!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been sewing regularly, as in more than three times a week for a year now. \u00a0You know what? \u00a0I STILL don&#8217;t know that much about sewing needles. \u00a0I did a little research and wanted to share with you all, &#8220;Sewing Needles Demystified&#8221;. \u00a0It&#8217;s so confusing to me how to know when to change [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1392,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,9,64],"tags":[127,98,15,310,311,312],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lucyssewinglab.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1403"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lucyssewinglab.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lucyssewinglab.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lucyssewinglab.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lucyssewinglab.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1403"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lucyssewinglab.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1403\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lucyssewinglab.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lucyssewinglab.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lucyssewinglab.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1403"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lucyssewinglab.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
