Flat face side away
from you
To determine if the needle is bad, place the flat side of
the needle on something flat (a needle plate, piece of
glass, etc.). The gap between the needle and the flat
surface should be even.
Never use a bent or broken needle. It may cause
skipped stitches or thread breakage. Bad needles can
ruin the fabric.
Always purchase good quality needles. Change needle
often.
