As many of you know I'm a big fan of Schmetz Sewing Machine Needles. In fact my book Modern Machine Techniques shows you how to use some of the more "unusual" needles that they have. I was selected as one of the eleven designers to be in their Designer Portfolio. I guess I can officially say I'm a "Schmetz Girl". They have a wonderful brochure called the ABC Pocket Guide that you can download from here. I highly recommend that you have a copy in your sewing room, it's a great refrence. You can also visit the Schmetz web site here.

Schmetz Double Eye Needle, yup, two eyes, on one needle!. (Item #DEN)
These are the newest needles from Schmetz. One needle with a double eye. You thread your machine for twin needles using two spools of thread, but when you thread the needle, there are two eyes. So one thread goes in the top eye, the other in the bottom eye. Go through the stitches you have on your machine to see the effect you will get! (Size 80/12) 5 needles per card.

Single Wing Needle (Item # WN)
These needles have "wings" which create holes in the fabric that resemble entredeux or hand done hem stitching. Use a zig-zag or simple decorative stitch with the single wing needle. Phillip Pepper's book "Peppering" is an excellent resource for using this and the double wing needle to their fullest.

Double Wing Needle (Item # DWN)

These needles have "wings" which create holes in the fabric that resemble entredeux or hand done hem stitching. Use a straight stitch with the double wing needle . Debra's new Book Modern Machine Techniques is an excellent resource for using this and the single wing needle to their fullest.

The NeedlePack, A Caddy for Machine Needles (Item #NP)

I love this thing! In my sewing room it's thumb tacked right in front of my machine on the bulletin board! (shown)

Sort and store machine needles with this compact caddy with snap closure for new, used, and in use machine needles. Sort up to 108 used needles by type and size, store up to 12 new needle packs, and tag needles in use. Customize your NeedlePack by identifying single needles in the additional write-in spaces. Closed measurements 5-3/4" x 4-5/8"; open measurements 5-3/4" x 12". Includes 5 needles. Finally a solution of those of us who change their needle constantly from one type of fabric to another and then don't know what's used and what's not!
