Determining the size of a needle once it is out of it's case has always been a problem for all sewers. Schmetz has announced their new needle color coding system. Each needle size will have a color coded band. This is great news for all machine sewers. Many times I have looked at a needle to try and determine if it was an 75, 80, or 90. Coding will take effect in 2014 but check your local quilt shop as some shipments may arrive earlier
Thank you Schmetz Needle Company.
Keep calm and put your apron on,
This is a wonderful idea. I'll be on the lookout for the new product.
