The name John James is synonymous with the very best of needle making. Their quality and reliability continue to be recognised by needlecrafters around the globe.
Sharps are a general purpose sewing needle. They are the most common needle found in the home and are used by dressmakers around the world. Their short round eyes provide added strength during sewing.
Not sure which size to buy or use? The general rule is the bigger the number the finer and shorter the needle.
Use Sharps size 3 and 4 for general sewing on medium to heavy fabrics. These sizes have a larger eye and therefore are easier to thread. Sharps in size 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are the most popular within the sharp family and they are commonly used for general sewing on light to medium fabrics.
