Inspira Needles are the preferred brand for use with PFAFF and Huskvarna domestic sewing machines. These needles (excluding the Overlock needles) belong to the 130/705 H system, which means that they have a flat shank. It makes them suitable for use in most modern domestic sewing machines, as opposed to rounded industrial needles. If in doubt about what system of needle to use in your machine, consult your sewing machine user manual. In the Inspira range there are different profiles of needle designed to penetrate different fabrics, explained below. Each type of needle is available in different sizes, ranging from 60 to 120, which may restrict the weight of thread you will be able to use with them, depending on the project. Ensure you have picked the correct needle type and size to suit the fabric and thread that you are using. If you are unsure which needle best suits your needs, feel free to Contact Us. Universal Needles have a slight rounded point and come in a variety of sizes. They work best for general sewing and a variety of fabrics.

The Twin Needle or Double Needle has two separate needles mounted onto one shank. Used for decorative sewing, top stitching and twin needle tucks.
