Industrial sewing machine needles
I am currently using a size 14 needle to sew my garments and a question about deflection has come up as my sleeve seams are not coming out straight and puckered.
Could this be due to needle flexing?

I have not yet worked on this issue. I've been giving this a lot thought, I wonder if I did not shrink the excess fullness enough before sewing the sleeve in.
But I must say there is not much flexibility with this cloth, its really difficult to shrink.
