Choosing a needle for machine sewing involves considering the type of fabric and the desired effect, as size eight and 10 needles are best for sheer fabrics, a size 12 is standard and a size 16 or 18 is ideal for heavier materials.

it's a universal sizing, but now I finally got the gist of the silly needles. Somehow, I've accumulated a lot of sewing machine needles and wasn't sure how the sizes work. thank you

Are the needle numbers specific to each machine or are they universal numbers for all machines.
