Specialized high quality needles make sewing easy and more enjoyable. Schmetz are top quality needles that come in the necessary styles to aid in your sewing experience. Which needle is right for your project?

CuddleBuns™ use Stretch 14/90 needles for the construction of the diaper; Stretch Twin 4,0/75 needles for the body contouring; and Stretch Twin 2,5/75 needles for applying binding or turning and topstitching.

HoneyBoy!™ diapers use Ballpoint 10/70 and Ballpoint 14/90 needles for the construction of the diaper through turning and topstitching.

Universal needles are sometimes needed to apply Aplix®, to avoid skipped stitches or thread tension problems.

For sewing all parts of the CuddleBuns™ diaper you will want to use a Stretch 14/90 needle. These are superior to Universal needles for working on knit fabrics to help prevent skipped stitching and large holes.

These needles are the absolute best for applying Lastin without breaking the elastic during application.
