Monthly Tip: Sewing machine needles are not indestructible. The sewing life of a needle is 8 hours. Points get dull from use and may get bent from hitting pins. The needle point will become worn and stitch quality may become compromised. Keep a variety of needles on hand to change regularly. A good rule of thumb is to use a new needle at the start of every project.
