What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 21, 2026

These sewing machine needles have a small notch cut into the side of the point, so you can press the thread in from the side instead of poking it through the tiny eye. That makes threading easier if you struggle to see the eye or can't hold the thread steady. You get five size 80 needles, which suit standard and lightweight fabrics. They are made to fit sewing machines from roughly the last 15 to 20 years, so check that your machine falls in that range before you buy.
