How to Change Needle on Sewing Machine | Day 8 of 30 Day Challenge

Hi, It’s Jess! Welcome to day 8 of our 30 Day learn to sew challenge. In today’s video, I’m going to show you how to change a needle on a sewing machine. As you begin to work on projects and sew through different types of fabrics, you’ll need to change needles. Also, best practice is to change your needle after 8 hours of sewing, or after every project. If you sew with a dull needle, your stitches won’t be as durable, and your fabrics may snag or get damaged.

Sewing machine needles may look alike, but the truth is that they are quite different. Selecting the proper needle will allow for ease of sewing through fabrics.

I hope you enjoyed this short tutorial. Let me know in the comments if you’d like to learn more about the different types of needles.

I’m so excited you’re following along with this 30 day challenge, and I encourage you to stick with it, because the projects will be coming up soon! For tomorrow’s video I’ll be showing you how to sew a straight stitch, which is the most common stitch used for sewing projects.

I look forward to stitching with you tomorrow, but until then, enjoy the rest of your day!
