What is a jeans needle

A jeans needle differs from a standard sewing machine needle in its thin, sharp point and sturdy, thicker shaft. This makes it capable of piercing through tight, densely woven fabrics without bending or breaking. The point is specially ground to withstand multiple layers of fabric, something a standard needle struggles with. Schmetz has been known for decades for the quality and precision of their needles, and this Jeans needle is a great example of that. The blue color code on the shaft makes the needle type instantly recognizable, even when you have several needle types in your sewing basket.

Uses and projects

This needle is your ally when sewing heavy, densely woven materials. Think about:

• Homemade jeans and denim skirts
• Denim jackets and heavier denim coats
• Canvas bags and sturdy backpacks
• Work clothing in heavy cotton or twill
• Multiple-layer hems on pants and skirts
• Tents and outdoor gear
• Belts and other accessories in sturdy material
• Repairs on existing jeans and work pants

Always keep a set on hand

With a pack of five needles you'll be covered for a while, and it's smart to always have a set nearby for your denim projects. Browse the full range of needles or check out all the haberdashery from Rijs Textiles for everything else you need for your sewing projects.
