How often should I change my sewing machine needle?

Troubleshooting
Needle breaking frequently
Check that you are not using fabric that is too thick for a 'fine' needle; ensure the needle is inserted correctly.
Skipped stitches
Ensure the needle is fully inserted into the clamp and that you are using the correct needle size for the fabric weight.
Fabric snagging
The needle point may be dull or have a burr; replace with a new needle from the pack.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your sewing machine is powered off. Loosen the needle clamp screw, remove the old needle, and insert the Hemline needle with the flat side facing the back of the machine. Tighten the screw securely before starting.
Care Tips:
- Replace your needle after approximately 8-10 hours of continuous sewing to prevent fabric damage from dull points.

- If you notice skipped stitches, verify that the needle is pushed all the way up into the needle bar housing.
