Most sewing machine needles will have packaging that gives both of these numbers in its size description — (e.g. as either 100/16 or 16/100). The length of all sewing machine needles has been standardized and does not require a separate code. The metric designation is the actual needle diameter in hundredths of a millimeter. [3]
Like the preceding two-needle system, the code units consisted of rapid deflections of the needle to either left or right in quick succession. The needle struck a post when it moved, causing it to ring.

The schiffli machine creates a lock stitch similar to a sewing machine. Neither should be confused with the more modern single needle or multi-head embroidery machines. Machine ...
