PFAFF® machines are high-precision instruments. Using genuine PFAFF® needles ensures you are using a needle manufactured to the highest quality standards, which is essential for perfect stitch formation, preventing skipped stitches, and protecting your machine.

For best results, you should change your needle after every 8 hours of sewing or before starting any new project. A sharp, fresh needle is the most important—and least expensive—factor in achieving beautiful stitch quality.

Choose the needle type based on your fabric: Universal for wovens, Stretch or Ball Point for knits, and specialty needles like Quilting, Denim, or Embroidery for those specific tasks. The size (e.g., 80/12, 90/14) should correspond to the fabric's weight.

A PFAFF® Wing Needle is used for creating heirloom hemstitching on natural fiber fabrics like linen and cotton. The "wings" on the side of the needle push the fabric threads apart, creating a decorative hole that is secured by the stitch.

Yes, most PFAFF® sewing machines are compatible with twin needles, which are perfect for creating professional-looking hems on knit garments or for decorative topstitching. Always consult your manual to ensure your machine supports this function and for threading instructions.
