Checking the needle
To see if the needle is in good condition, place the
flat side of the needle onto something flat (needle
plate, glass etc.). The gap between the needle
and the flat surface should be consistent. Never
use a bent or blunt needle.
A damaged needle can cause permanent snags
or runs in knits, fine silks and silk-like fabrics.
