For full disclosure, I receive commissions for purchases made through highlighted links in these posts.
Beginning with the question, “which sewing machine is the best for all types of fabric”, is really the wrong question. Thus the correct questions is “Many machines will work well on all types of fabric IF you have the correct needle and thread”.
An example with Universal Point Needles the following would be true for different fabrics:
- First of all for leather material an R point Groz-Beckert needle is best as it is sharp and can punch through the leather material.
- Then with silk, chiffon, batiste, transparent fabrics, and fine lace use 8/60 – 9/65 size needle.
- Thus for satin, challis, interlocks, polyester, and jersey material use 10/70 size needle.
- Then with percale, elasticized fabric, 2 way stretch material, and powder net material use 11/75 size needle.
- Then for linen, broadcloth, shantung, polyester blends, and woolens use 12/80 size needle.
- Thus with corduroy, twill-weave, velour, outerwear, and double knits us 14/90 size needle.
- Then for awning and canvas material us 16/100 size needle.
- Finally, with upholstery fabric us 18/110 size needle.
Therefore, you can see each material requires a different needle to accommodate the fabric and how it will easily flow through the sewing machine. Additionally, you need to change your needle every 1-3 garments you make or every time you accidentally hit a pin while sewing. Then bent or damaged needle can do damage to your fabric if you do not change the needle.
Thus, this information is an excerpt from the Thornton Company Sewing Machines website which I will place a link here for you to go to for other in depth information.
Therefore, the Universal Sewing Machine Needle sizes vary and ones that fit a Singer machine come in the following sizes:
