A properly aligned needle enters the throat plate hole dead center — even slight misalignment causes skipped stitches, thread breaks, and damage to the throat plate over time.

The magnet’s position provides a reference point for verifying that the needle enters and exits the throat plate at exactly the correct center position. Any deviation from center indicates needle alignment needs adjustment.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eHow often should needle alignment be checked?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eCheck needle alignment when installing a new needle, after any machine impact or jolt, when experiencing unexplained thread breaks or skipped stitches, and as part of routine longarm maintenance. Many experienced longarm operators check alignment every time they change a needle.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eDoes needle misalignment cause damage?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes — a misaligned needle that strikes the edge of the throat plate hole will nick the needle, score the throat plate, and cause thread shredding and skipped stitches. Over time, repeated misalignment scoring requires throat plate replacement.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eIs this a replacement for a formal needle alignment tool?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eThe magnets are a quick-check tool for routine alignment verification. For formal mechanical alignment procedures, consult your specific machine’s service manual or a qualified longarm technician.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWhy buy a 2-pack?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eHaving a spare ensures you always have an alignment check available even if one magnet is misplaced. Magnets are small accessories that are easy to lose in a busy studio.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"needle-alignment-magnet-2-pack","title":"Needle Alignment Magnet (2 Pack)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eNeedle Alignment Magnet (2 Pack)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeedle Alignment Magnet (2 Pack):\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA MUST HAVE!!!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApprox. 1\/2\" Long Set of 2 - Just in case you lose one, you will have a spare.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlace this little magnet across the groove on the front of your needle to determine the direction that the (eye) is pointing.  Use it when you place the needle inside the needle bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWatch a video demonstration on this product! \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vY48HmaC2L4\u0026amp;list=PLVdSb7hu7qSJcrTwETug8RPMYoNkQMxQy\u0026amp;index=12\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eCLICK HERE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e to be directed to our YouTube Channel.
