Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of sewing machine needles are best for stretch and elastic fabrics?
A: For stretch and elastic fabrics, ballpoint or stretch-specific needles — such as the DBX1 Industrial Stretch Sewing Machine Needles — are ideal. Their rounded tip slides between fabric fibres rather than piercing them, preventing snags and skipped stitches on jersey, lycra, and knit materials.
Q: What is the difference between twin needles and standard sewing machine needles?
A: Twin (double) needles feature two needle points on a single shank, allowing your machine to sew two parallel rows of stitching simultaneously. They are perfect for decorative topstitching, pin-tucks, and professional-looking hems on knit fabrics. Our 10-Piece Twin Double Needle Set covers all common sizes for maximum versatility.
Q: How often should I replace my rotary cutter blades?
A: Rotary cutter blades should be replaced when you notice dragging, skipped cuts, or frayed fabric edges instead of clean slices. For regular sewers and quilters, this may be every few projects. Keeping a stock of 60mm SK5 Steel Replacement Blades ensures you're never caught short mid-project.
Q: Which thread is suitable for both hand sewing and machine sewing?
A: A good-quality polyester thread, like our Polyester 402 Sewing Thread Set, is versatile enough for both hand and machine sewing. It offers excellent tensile strength, minimal shrinkage, and vibrant colour retention, making it a staple for DIY projects, garment construction, and repairs.
Q: What sewing notions should a beginner start with?
A: Beginners should start with a reliable set of hand sewing needles, a quality thread assortment, a soft measuring tape, and sharp cutting tools. The 1.5M Soft Body Measuring Tape and a set of polyester threads are great first additions to any sewing kit, giving you the foundation to tackle a wide variety of beginner-friendly projects.
