Application of Madeira Jeans Machine Needle
Select the appropriate needle size: 90/14 for standard denim, 100/16 for heavy or layered denim
Thread the needle following your machine's standard threading guide
Sew at a moderate stitch length (2.5–3.0 mm) to avoid needle breakage on dense fabric
Replace the needle after approximately 8–10 hours of sewing or when stitch quality deteriorates
Madeira is a Swiss sewing accessories manufacturer founded in 1899, specialising in machine needles, threads, and embroidery supplies. The brand is widely distributed across European craft and sewing retail channels and is recognised for its durable, precision-engineered needle products for both domestic and light industrial use.
It is designed for sewing denim, heavy cotton, and canvas fabrics. The two included needle sizes (90/14 and 100/16) cover a range of fabric thicknesses, from standard to heavy-weight denim.
The needles are compatible with all standard domestic sewing machine brands and models. They follow the universal needle system (NM 90/14 and NM 100/16) used across the industry.
The pack contains 5 needles in two sizes: 90/14 (for medium-weight denim) and 100/16 (for heavy or multi-layer denim). The exact mix of sizes may vary by production batch.
The needles have a blue-silver finish, which reduces friction during stitching. This helps prevent skipped stitches, fabric snagging, and premature needle wear when sewing dense denim.
A needle should be replaced after approximately 8–10 hours of sewing or when stitch quality noticeably deteriorates. Dense denim fabrics wear needles faster than lighter textiles.
