Universal Machine Needles

Universal sewing machine needles are the most versatile needle in any sewing kit. With a slightly rounded point, they are designed to work across a wide range of woven and lightly knitted fabrics, making them the ideal everyday needle for general sewing, quilting, and patchwork.

Quilt Direct stocks Schmetz universal needles in a range of sizes to suit different fabric weights, from fine cotton and silk through to medium-weight quilting cottons and mixed-fibre fabrics. If you are unsure which needle to use, a Schmetz universal can be an excellent starting point.
