    Important Notes - System Specific

    Home Sewing Machines - Almost all home sewing machines use system 130 / 705 - also called HAx1 or 15x1 needles. They are characterized by a flat side on the shank.

    System Specific -     Sometimes, the needle point, needle size, or both affect the needle system designation. Some common exceptions include:
    • DBx1: This system has a shank diameter of 1.63 mm up to size 110/18. For sizes above 110/18, the shank diameter increases to 2.00 mm and it becomes system 134. To maintain the 1.63 mm shank diameter in larger sizes, switch to system 1738A.
    • 135x16 and 135x17: These needle systems are interchangeable. 135x16 needles have leather points, while 135x17 needles have cloth points.
