Really, any good brand of sewing machine needle will work just fine. They are all interchangeable. What's important is which needle to use with which fabric:

For knits, use a ballpoint needle. The rounded point slips between the yarn and doesn't cut it. For woven fabrics, use sharps or universal needles. There are also special needles for use with blue jeans, with stretchy fabrics, leather, and for metallic threads.

Needles are sized by numbers, with the smaller numbers (like 90/11) for smaller, finer needles than the ones with higher numbers. The first number is European, so I'll just refer to the second number, but remember, the smaller the number, the finer the needle.

For light weight fabrics (like organza), use size 10 or 11 needles

For medium weight fabrics (like quilting cotton), use a 12 or 14

Size 16 and up are for upholstery fabrics.

Most of my sewing is done with 12s or 14s and universals (I don't sew much with knits).

Hope this helps!

I couldn't find the Brother XL-3520, so I'll just ask here. I noticed that I have a single needle (already attached to machine) and a double needle attachment but I need a thicker needle for...

most domestic sewing machines use 130/705h system needles - buy a pack each of size 70, 80, 90 and 100 to start. if you plan on sewing knits (stretchy) fabrics then buy a couple packs of ball points in size 70 and 80. put in a new needle for each garment you sew as a needle goes blunt in about 6 hours depending on what you are stitching. visit www.sewing.about.com and check out sewing machines 101 and debbie's article on sm needles for more good info. depending on what your heavier weight fabric is you may need to use a 110 size to handle it. the denser the fabric the bigger it needs to be.

The needle on my brother XL 5340 sewing machine does not appear to go down far enough to catch the lower thread.

Hi. Check to make sure that the flat side of the needle shank is facing to the rear (away from you), that the needle isn't bent, and that it is inserted as far up as it will go.

Hope this helps,

Robbie
