Needle Sizes
You will need to consider the length and the bite width of the needles before you buy them. The bite width of the needle is the distance from the needle tip to the swage. The swage is the point where the thread and needle connect. The length is the distance from the needle tip to the swage.
It is best to use the smallest length that you can. This will allow you to get the best results.
