All SCHMETZ needles are compatible but the most popular needles that work with Brother Sewing Machines are Universal, Quilting, Microtex, & Embroidery. Needle system 130/705 H has a flat shank. Please check your instruction manual to verify the recommended needle system.
The machine comes with a size 11 needle installed.
Sewing Machine Needle Types

The first thing to know is that sewing machines needles are standardised. They are compatible across the range of brands, including Janome, Brother, Husqvarna, Elna, Pfaff etc.

Included are two size 11 needles for lightweight fabrics such as silk, voile, taffeta and chiffon; two size 14 needles for medium weight fabrics such as cotton, linen and satin; and one size 16 needle for heavy weight fabrics such as denim, corduroy and tweed.
If you are sewing with something lighter, like sheer cotton, you`ll want a smaller needle, like an 80/12 or 75/11. And if you are sewing with something heavier, like denim, you`ll want a larger needle like a 100/16 or 110/18.
Quilting Machine quilting 75/11 and 90/14 Quilting needles feature a sharp, tapered point and are designed to stitch through thick layers and intersecting seams. Use them for piecing quilts and machine quilting the layers together.
The normal medical use for the 23G 25mm (1inch) needle is for Intramuscular, intravenous, and subcutaneous injections. Non-medical use: This 23G 25mm needle is also suitable for veterinary use. Notes on use by drug users for the injection of illicit drugs.
A good rule of thumb to keep in mind: the lighter the fabric the smaller the needle size and the heavier the fabric the larger the needle size. Many times the thread you will be using for your sewing project will also determine the type of needle you choose.
A: It is related to size and point if needles. Some 100/16 are for Medium to Heavier fabrics like Jean and coat fabrics. 90/14 needles are for medium fabrics like broadcloth or corduroy.
A 75/11 needle is designed for use on high speed commercial embroidery machines. It is an ideal all-purpose needle size that can be used with standard threads like polyester and rayon, as well as heavier threads like metallic.
Needle Measurement

With needles, there are two important measurements to consider. Gauge: The diameter, or thickness, of the needle. The higher the number, the finer or thinner the needle. For example, a 30-gauge needle is smaller than a 27-gauge needle.

What are the most common sewing machine needle sizes? Common sewing machine needle sizes are 60/8, 70/10, 75/11, 80/12, 90/14 and100/16.
✅ SINGER Sewing Machine Needles are universal, meaning they work with SINGER, Brother, Janome and other quality brand sewing machines.
Size 11 (European 80) – Use these with light-weight fabrics such as silk, muslin, and calicoes. Size 14 (European 90) – Choose when sewing medium-weight fabrics such as rayon, gabardine, satin, chino, linen, denim; thick quilts. Use ballpoint size 14 for light to medium-weight knits such as tricot or jersey.
Double Eye 80/12 A Universal needle with two eyes, used on wovens and knits. Used with two threads for topstitching, shading and texturing effects and for embroidery.
21 Gauge Needles

21g needles are the most common gauge of needles used for routine blood draws and venipuncture. The gauge is small enough in which it does not cause any significant pain or discomfort during use.

Use Sharps size 2, 3 and 4 for general sewing on medium to heavy fabrics. These sizes have a larger eye and therefore are easier to thread. Sharps in size 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are the most popular within the sharp family and they are commonly used for general sewing on light to medium fabrics.
This needle is more commonly used for infusions of large amounts of liquids. 💉20 GAUGE (Pink): The 20 gauge needle is better for adult patients with smaller veins and in pediatrics. This size is ideal for IV infusion and blood infusion. You may struggle to insert a 20 gauge into tough skin due to its size.
Diabetic cats and dogs may use the 25g needle. It consists of a width of 0.5mm and length 16mm, ideal for insulin injection on cats.
Needle Size and Choice

Needle gauges are sized numerically, with the smaller numbers correlating to larger needles and larger numbers correlating to smaller needles. In general, the smallest appropriately sized needle is used. The most common sizes are 18, 20, and 22 gauge.

Twin and triple needles – have two or three needles in one. They are used for creating decorative stitches. They`re not compatible with every machine, so check before using.

consistent with motor noise.

2d: In order to check threading had to manually PULL bobbin case toward me or it was UNDER needle plate. Cleaned a fair amount of dust out. Reinstalled bobbin, etc., per manual, rethreaded.

3rd: Will sew 2-3 stitches, then packs up again just like in 1st instance above. Have st

Our beautiful Bernina 730 sewing machine has been stored in the garage in its original case, and that wrapped in plastic, for a few years now. Temperatures have been both hot and cold in the garage, but the environment was dust-free.

We have brought the Bernina in, set it up, oiled it as specified in the manual, with the original sewing machine oil. We have correctly threaded the machine and the bobbin thread is up.

When we press on the pedal to sew, the machine gets electricity and buzzes

ANSWER : Hello and thank you for using Fixya ….
From what you describe there can be only 2 causes…Either the machine is still stuck ..and the motor buzzes cause it can not spin it ..and in this case it needs to be oiled more..and be spun by hand until it moves well and free…and after that it will work ..or during the storage ..from condense or so ..the motor is stuck ..and needs to be checked…In this second case ..it probably need to be oiled too (the motor ) ..and the coils changed..
Have a nice day ..!

Have a 3 year old Pfaff Creative Vision. Has less than 14 total sewing hours on it. Has had issues in the past. Breaking needles, wouldn’t stitch out designs in acceptable manner(badly distorted looking) breaking needles repeated, now it is changes stitches on its own, then went to sewing the same stitch but isn’t sewing it consistantly. I have taken it back to the same professional to repair each time. Can thhis machine be repaired??? Should I trade it off and get another, this isn’t my first c
ANSWER : It sounds like this machine has some kind of fault in it for sure. It can be repaired again, but will likely need to be repaired again after that – down the road. Personally I recommend you just get rid of this unit and go for a different model. You can sell it on ebay to at least get something out of it. Just list it as accurately as you can, naming this issue.

Thanks
Tim

What size needle and what type of thread would you need for sewing marine vinyl if using a pfaff 130 sewing machine?
ANSWER : I had a friend who used to use nylon thread. He had been using a number 16 needle and heavy duty .thread(top spool only, reg. thread in bobbin) On the first vinyl, .it worked well. The second vinyl was causing the bobbin thread to “bunch”.. Through process of elimination, we got things working right. I had seen .him use a smaller needle(size 14) and change to regular thread both top .spool and bobbin.
