I am a great believer in having the right needle in your sewing machine for the job at hand

This Schmetz Jeans /Denim twin needle has a medium ball point which penerates thick and solid fabrics more easily without damaging the material.

This needle allows you to have 2 rows of stitching on your Jeans. The needle size is 100 which should perform satisfactorily with the thickness of the denim.

The reinforced blade causes less deflection of the needle and reduces the risk of needle breakage and skipped stitches

 When starting a new project always use a new needle.
