Description
Everything you need to set up, tune, and maintain your longarm needles — in one kit.
The Longarm Machine Needle Essentials Kit bundles the three most-purchased needle maintenance items at Linda's Electric Quilters: a package of Groz-Beckert #14 MR 3.0 Regular Sharp Needles, a bottle of Ease A Thread Lubricant, and a Needle Alignment Magnet 2-Pack. These three items appear together in more orders than almost any other combination in our store.
What's Included
- Groz-Beckert #14 MR 3.0 R-Point Needles — The most popular needle size for Gammill, APQS, Innova, and other major longarm machines. Regular sharp point for clean stitch penetration on cotton and cotton-blend fabrics.
- Ease A Thread Lubricant — Apply 2–3 beads along your thread cone before loading to virtually eliminate thread breakage. Silicone-based, safe for all thread types.
- Needle Alignment Magnet 2-Pack — A must-have tool for quick, precise needle positioning. The small magnet holds the needle perfectly while you tighten the clamp.
Why This Bundle Works
These three products address the three most common causes of poor stitch quality on a longarm: wrong needle size, thread breakage from friction, and needle misalignment. Used together, they prevent the majority of machine setup problems before they start.
