To determine if the needle is defective, place the flat side of
needle on something flat (a needle plate, piece of glass, etc.). The
gap between the needle and the flat surface should be consistent.
Never use a blunt or blunt needle, as it may cause skipped
stitches or thread breakage. Defective needles can ruin the fabric.
Always purchase good quality needles. Change needles often.
