To recognize Schmetz sewing machine needles, it is important to know which type sewing machine needle you need. Not only are there Universal sewing machine needles, but also needles for stretch fabrics, firm fabrics and even ones for sewing leather.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nEvery type sewing machine needle has it&#8217;s own attributes what makes them suitable for specific purposes. The difference is in the shape and finish of the tip, the shank, the eye and the groove in the needle. An example of special needles are Topstitching needles. These have an extra large eye to make them suited for topstitching with thicker thread. It is important to choose the correct needle to fit your fabric and thread, because it ensures the best result.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 33px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe proverb says for good reason:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\r\n<blockquote>Good tools are half the job<\/blockquote>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nBelow we explain how to identify sewing machine needles, the different types available and their purpose.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 100px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"h-hoe-kan-ik-mijn-naaimachine-naalden-herkennen\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I identify my sewing machine needle<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nthat is a good question! Luckily the Schmetz manufacturer has considered this. They&#8217;ve developed a system with color codes. Even if the needle is out of it&#8217;s original package, you wil still be able to confirm what type and size of needle it is.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 100px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-herken-je-naaimachine-naald-met-de-schmetz-kleurcode-wijzer\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Identify your needle with the Schmetz color chart<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThere are two indicator bars with different colors per needle. One for the size and the other for the type of needle. Because Schmetz needles originate in Germany, we have created the Dutch translation ourselves. They do have English text, that is why we placed it on the right.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure id=\"schmetzkleurcodewijzer\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"588\" class=\"wp-image-5207\" src=\"https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/kleurmarkeringen-schmetz-nederlands-en-engels-1-1024x588.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/kleurmarkeringen-schmetz-nederlands-en-engels-1-1024x588.png 1024w, https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/kleurmarkeringen-schmetz-nederlands-en-engels-1-300x172.png 300w, https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/kleurmarkeringen-schmetz-nederlands-en-engels-1-768x441.png 768w, https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/kleurmarkeringen-schmetz-nederlands-en-engels-1.png 1220w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAs you can see the types of needles received a unique color. The needle on the picture has a yellow band with a blue band below. The top band is the type indicator, that means it is a stretch neelde. The band below tells you the size of the needle. Because it is blue it tells you the needle size is 90\/14.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nA few types of sewing machine needles don&#8217;t have a type band, only one for size:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li>Universal needles<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li>Hemstitch needles<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li>Double eye needles<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li>Open eye needles<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 100px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-naaimachine-naalden-dikte-herkennen\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Identifying sewing machine needle sizes<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nOn the picture above you see a column with color codes for needle size. A double designation is stated, a NM and a Size designation.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe NM designation is based on the metric system. (the system we use in the Netherlands) NM designation is 100 times the thickness of the blade of the needle. What means a needle size NM 90 has a blade with a thickness of 0,9mm. If the needle is size NM 100 than the blade thickness is 1mm, etcetera. The size designation (imperial system) is mostly used in English speaking and Asian countries. For both designations goes: THE <strong>HIGHER<\/strong> THE NUMBER THE <strong>THICKER<\/strong> THE NEEDLE\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 100px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"h-de-anatomie-van-de-naaimachine-naald\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The anatomy of sewing machine needles<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"wp-image-5259\" src=\"https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/anatomie-van-naalden-nederlandse-namen.png\" alt=\"Anatomy of sewing machine needles explained\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/anatomie-van-naalden-nederlandse-namen.png 500w, https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/anatomie-van-naalden-nederlandse-namen-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/anatomie-van-naalden-nederlandse-namen-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe top part of the needle is the shank.

There are various types of sewing machine needles that state for what kinds of fabric they should be used, just by their name. A good example of this is the Jeans needle. Obviously it is used to sew denim or jeans fabric and that is totally true. Also used to sew other firm fabric. To make the Needle Choosing Aid easier to use we have created a Fabrics in Categories sheet, because it is not always clear in what category every fabric belongs. So first check the Fabrics in Categories sheet and see where in belongs before you look at the Needle Choosing Aid. Identify the right needle to use and order directly in our shop!\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/e\/2PACX-1vRf5XBmnv7kdP8zY5JqydkQwpUFT5L2-SpOMyH409NBqUxdNnJdOepOpBjB5XbMiSh1_7A2xyzZKao9\/pubhtml\">Fabric in Categories<\/a><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-secondary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/e\/2PACX-1vTGKKh0IwlBxcac9YlADNq2bWGC4VcgNdDa0wKN5lB8cdHxRW7xEVGl-52ripRkGBVuzyqj2-UOX813\/pubhtml\">Needle Choosing Aid<\/a><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 100px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"h-welke-naald-zit-er-in-mijn-naaimachine\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which needle do I have inserted in my sewing machine<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTo find that out you can check the <a href=\"http:\/\/h-schmetz-kleurcode-wijzer\"> needle color codes<\/a>.

When you place used needles back in the original packaging most of the time you are unsure which needles are REALLY NEW or you may have used before. If you have any trouble with your sewing machine because of skipping stitches for example. it is impossible to be sure if it is the needle or not. Because you can&#8217;t be absolutely sure your needle is unused&#8230;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhen you are sewing and the needle should break, and you find out you don&#8217;t have a replacement needle in stock. Place a pin in the spot where the broken needle was. If you place another type of needle in your machine you will know which needle is in the sewing machine. You also know what type of needle you should buy again.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 100px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-de-schmetz-naalden-parkeermeter\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Schmetz Parking meter<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI love this one!

Because you can sew paper and plastic with a leather needle&#8230;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full has-custom-border is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" class=\"wp-image-5289\" style=\"border-style: none; border-width: 0px; border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/schmetz-naaldenoverzicht-gereed.jpeg\" alt=\"Schmetz needle overview file, easily find the right sewing machine needle\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/schmetz-naaldenoverzicht-gereed.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/schmetz-naaldenoverzicht-gereed-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/schmetz-naaldenoverzicht-gereed-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/schmetz-naaldenoverzicht-gereed-768x768.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 id=\"h-benodigdheden-0\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Supplies:<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li>1 paper file clip folder<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li>4 clear report covers<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li>4 sheets of A4 paper, slightly heavier then printing paper<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li>spool of thread<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li>leather sewing machine needle<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li>fray check<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li>hobby knife<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li>ruler<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li>pencil<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\r\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"206\" class=\"wp-image-5292\" style=\"width: 200px;\" src=\"https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/fray-check.png\" alt=\"Fray check to fixate textile and threads\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/fray-check.png 500w, https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/fray-check-291x300.png 291w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nOn every sheet of paper I drew three lines horizontally and three lines vertically. An A4 sheet is 29,7 cm high and 21 cm wide. I rounded of the height of 29,7 cm to 30 cm and divided it by 4, the same for the 21 cm. After drawing the lines, place the paper inside the clear report covers. Stitch over the lines with a long stitch. To prevent the stitches fraying, tie them of and snip of the ends. Next I fixated the end using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beautyvof.nl\/Fray-check-rafelstop-afdichtvloeistof-voor-textiel-je-stof-rafelt-niet-meer\">Fray check<\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nNow to most difficult part, cutting slits in the clear report covers. Lay the ruler just below the horizontal stitch line. Next you cut through the clear cover but NOT the paper or the vertical stitches. The amount of pressure you should use depends on the thickness of the clear cover and sharpness of the knife. Only the cover should get an opening.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video style=\"aspect-ratio: 720 \/ 720;\" src=\"https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Schmetz-naaldenoverzicht-openingen-snijden.mp4\" poster=\"https:\/\/beautyvof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/schmetz-naaldenoverzicht-gereed.jpeg\" autoplay=\"autoplay\" controls=\"controls\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\"><\/video><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nNow you can place the finished clear covers in the paper file clip folder. You can sort your needles however you want. I have sorted them on type and size, but you can sort them alphabetically or any other way you like. Are you even better than me at organizing, than you could name the individual pockets before you place the paper in the clear cover&#8230;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full
