    whether you are a beginner that is totally NEW to a sewing machine or the classic OLD hand...you can always learn more when it comes to sewing machine needles and their proper uses.
    Here are two sites that I use as resources.

    http://sewing.about.com/od/sewingmac...Sizes.--94.htm

    http://www.schmetzneedles.com/Schmetz_Sales_Guide.pdf
    I keep this chart on hand to give to people who want a reference guide. I also have the Schmetz pocket guide book.

    Didn't know there were a difference between Universal 90/14 and green Schnetz 90/14. Thank you for this.
