What is the curved needle used for?

Not sure. I have only used the straight one . Guess it's for when you can't get to the back of the material so the curved needle brings the thread back to the front for locking instead of the back.

It depends on the thickness of the skin. If a lancet can draw blood, then the unit can be used. As you know, a lancet goes inside the unit & the depth of prick can be adjusted.

When you cut them cut 1/8 of an inch , that way it will still be slightly curved on both ends. It doesnt matter where you cut.

The area you are asking about is curved. However it works well to manipulate the slide assembly off of most any object single handed.

I found it by mistake. I didn't know there would be a needle in the kit. It's wrapped in plastic. I suggest looking very thoroughly through everything to see if you can find it. I never used the needle provided and just used one I like to use. Hope that helps.

Wish I could help you. I only used mine for curves. It seems thin enough to bend though.

You can cut curves, circles, straight lines, etc, but you will need to turn your workpiece carefully so the blade follows without twisting. You may also need to use a narrower blade for very sharp curves or if you find your pattern is so intricate that you repeatedly backing up.

I do a basic straight stitch and not familiar to other stitches. The tool is very handy and for making medicine bags it works great.

I use it to cut straight lines on 1/2" OSB. Don't believe you could do much on curves with this. It's great for making a plunge cut though.

What fun to be using an antique machine! I'm sure it's challenging, but worth the effort! In answer to your question, Organ sewing machine needles that I purchased are 1 1/2" long. The top 3/4" of the needle (which fits into the needle bar) is flat on one side, but the rest is rounded. I hope that this answers your question. Good luck!

Curved. It's flat on one side and has two curves on the other side. I used the smaller curve behind my head and the larger when I turn to the side.

The needle works with the corresponding tip, when I changed mine they would not fit together if I used the wrong size needle and tip, I just used it yesterday the needle may also have a stamping on the brass sleeve of the needle.

There is a curved needle that would work better, but any needle would work if you are careful when sewing up the rip/tear. If you expect to sew and make the tear more water tight then keep the stitches closer together.

I haven't tested it on curved surface. My dash is slanted and it grips it like a welder's hand.

No jessie curved objects or very hard objects are not well finished. This is more for light work such as balsa wood, acrilic ir plastic.
