- Needle
Size Designations — A
comparison table showing the
different needle sizes. The needle
size as a 'Number metric' gives
the diameter of the needle blade
in hundredths of a millimeter
measured above the scarf or the
short groove, but not at any
reinforced part of the blade.
A sewing maching needle with
a blade diameter of 0.80mm therefore
corresponds to NM 80, and a needle
with a blade diameter of 1.30mm
to NM 130.
