Sewing machine accessories are very important to garment manufacturers and sewing industry practitioners around the world, so the demand for them is huge. In order to meet the diverse needs of users, we have carefully compiled a series of high-quality sewing machine accessories with rich and diverse brands and models for you to choose from.

【Needle】
The needle is one of the core components of the sewing machine, which determines the quality and effect of the sewing products. There are many types of needles, and different types of needles are suitable for different sewing methods and fabrics. Choosing the right needle can improve the quality and efficiency of sewing products.

Anatomy of a Sewing Machine Needle
Most sewing machine needles are made from varying grades of hardened steel with either a nickel or chrome finish, but some specialty needles have titanium nitride (a reflective, gold-colored ceramic material) plated over the chrome to reduce wear, allowing the needle to stay sharper longer and last many times longer than other varieties.

The first thing to know is that sewing machines needles are standardised. They are compatible across the range of brands, including GROZ-BECKERT，SCHMETZ，ORGAN，DOTEC，TNC etc. You can be safe in the knowledge that any sewing machine needle purchased from us will be compatible with any relatively modern domestic sewing machine.

The number of different types and sizes of machine needle can seem a bit bewildering at first. However, it's not that difficult to get a handle on the different types. We've listed the most popular needles and the techniques and fabrics they're used for.

Type	Description
Universal	The universal class of needles are used on domestic machines. "Universal" refers to the shape of the needle shank and length of the needle rather than the actual sewing application or point. The most notable feature of universal needles is the flat face on the needle shank which helps to ensure the needle is inserted correctly. A universal class needle is designed to be used on virtually any domestic sewing machine. They do not fit industrial or commercial machines.
Embroidery	These needles come with an extra large eye and a specially shaped scarf to prevent embroidery thread from shredding.
Ballpoint	Similar to a universal needle but has rounded edges and is not tapered the same way. Intended for closely knit fabrics where the rounded tip will push the weave out of the way rather than cut through it.
Jeans/ Denim	Intended for tightly woven cottons such as canvas. Has a strong, sharp point and very slender eye.
Wing	Needle has distinct "wings" on either side of the eye which hold the fabric open. Often used on hems and borders, and for decorative finishing. A larger size needle will leave a larger hole in the final piece of sewn fabric.
Leather	These have a distinct triangular point to help the needle make a large, clean hole in non-woven materials like vinyl.
Metallic	Similar to an embroidery needle with a large eye and extra long scarf, but also includes a Teflon coating to the eye so that metallic threads will not shred when used.
Quilting	Designed with an extra strong shaft and with a tapered point to penetrate multiple layers of woven fabrics without breaking and without shredding either the thread or the fabric being sewn.
Serger/ Industrial	These needles can only be used in serger and overlocking machines.
Microtex/ Sharps	More slender and sharper than the universal needle. Suitable for fine woven fabrics, but also compatible for quilting and appliqué.
Stretch	These needles are intended for use on fabrics with a significant amount of Spandex or similar fabric content. Rounded tip and specialized scarf and eye to prevent skipping.
Topstitching	These have exceptionally sharp points and a very large eye to accommodate thick decorative topstitching threads. Very similar to the leather needle.
Twin/ Triple	Needles set in pairs or in groups of three on a single shaft designed to sew multiple, usually decorative, threads at once. These require specialized machinery to accommodate the extra needles, as well as multiple thread feeds. The twin or triple designation is usually accompanied by another needle type specification such as "stretch" or "denim", etc.

【Bobbin Case】

The bobbin case is one of the important parts of the sewing machine. It is used to control the flow of the needle and thread, and plays the role of flipping and transferring the coil sewing thread below and the needle thread above. The bobbin case is an important part of the sewing machine and has an important impact on the quality and efficiency of sewing products.

The two primary bobbin case designs are drop-in and front-loading/side-loading. Regardless of the type, the identification of the right sewing bobbin case is very easy, as both automatic and manual sewing machines can use either drop-in or front-loading/side-loading bobbin cases. However, the majority of contemporary sewing machines, whether automatic or manual, have drop-in bobbin casings.

【Hook】

Hook is one of the important part of the sewing machine. Hook is fixed to the rotary hook shaft which is driven by the main motor. Hook plays an important role in forming the stitch. In chain stitch instead of hook, looper is used. Hook is divided into two parts – inner and outer hook. When needle is penetrated through the fabric along with sewing thread, a needle loop is created and hook has responsibility to catch that loop, rotate it around the periphery of the bobbin and interlace with the bobbin thread (lower thread).

In full rotary hook outer hook catches and scoops the needle thread to form stitches while in semi rotary hook, the needle thread is catch and scooped by inner hook.

The quality and service life of the blade directly affect the cutting and cutting effect of the sewing machine, and directly affect the production efficiency and product quality.

【Presser Foot】

The presser foot is one of the important accessories of the sewing machine. It is used to position and press the fabric on the sewing machine to maintain its stability and tightness during sewing. The quality of the presser foot has a great influence on the working effect of the sewing machine. Therefore, it is necessary to use the appropriate presser foot to ensure the best sewing effect, improve production efficiency and product quality. Choosing the right presser foot may be difficult, but by following our advice, you can make the right choice.

The first thing to consider when choosing a presser foot is the type of sewing machine. Because each manufacturer has a different presser foot mounting system. Therefore, you need to choose a presser foot that is compatible with your sewing machine model. In most cases, the compatibility will be stated on the packaging of the presser foot.

The second important factor to consider is the type of presser foot. This depends on the type of work you plan to do. For example, if you want to sew thin fabrics, you need a presser foot with a narrow plate. This will allow you to hold the thin fabric in place without deforming it. If you are sewing heavy fabrics, you need a presser foot with a wide plate. To provide enough pressure on the fabric and prevent it from shifting while sewing.

The third factor is the material of the presser foot. Presser feet can be made of metal or plastic. Metal presser feet are sturdier and more durable. But they can also be heavy. Plastic presser feet are lighter and convenient when working. But they wear out faster.

Finally, the size and shape of the presser foot should be considered. Some jobs require a presser foot of a special shape or size.

You should also remember that sewing machine presser feet are consumables that wear out and lose their performance over time. Therefore, regularly replacing the presser foot can significantly improve the quality of your sewing machine and extend its life.

In conclusion, choosing the right presser foot is an important step in achieving quality sewing results. When choosing a presser foot, consider the type of machine, type of work, material, and presser foot size.

We have EP, YIH SHIN and SUSEI brand presser feet, all of which have the characteristics of high manufacturing precision, stable quality, long service life and strong applicability.

【Feed Dogs】

The feed dogs in sewing machine accessories are small teeth on the sewing machine that feed the fabric evenly into the sewing machine. These teeth are very important because they help us sew perfectly spaced and even stitches when sewing clothes, patchwork or applique patterns on the sewing machine.

The main function of the feed dog is to transmit power, converting the motor drive power of the sewing machine into mechanical energy so that the needle and the hook or rocker work in coordination. If there is a problem with the feed dogs, it will cause the needle and the hook or rocker to not work in coordination, causing problems such as broken thread ends and uneven sewing. Therefore, it is very important to maintain the feed dogs of the sewing machine to ensure the normal operation of the sewing machine, improve sewing efficiency and quality, and reduce the possibility of sewing problems.

We provide Golden Dove sewing machine accessories brand, mainly producing various needle types, feed dogs and other sewing machine accessories. Its high quality and stable performance have been widely praised in the sewing industry.
