Changing needle with heavy embroidery?

I was having a lot of problems with the threader, so I changed the needle
often trying to get it to work. Does anyone have recommendations for how
often to change it?

I have found a solution for the threader issue – hit the “up/down” button a couple of times. Also if the needle gets even slightly bent, it won’t thread properly. Also hit the “lock” button for threading the whole process, not just the bit getting the thread into the needle hole. If you’ve had an issue with a thread nest, you will need to “reset” the needle position by hitting the “up/down” button a couple of times.

Cas I believe the industry standard is after 8 hours of actual stitching. I dislike this 'rule' for using in the domestic situation. To me it seems a bit arbitary. Some needles may need changing sooner, some later, depending on exactly what you have been stitching on and with and what type of needle it is. And of course how do you actually keep track of how many hours stitching a needle has done. You cannot possibly be accurate unless you have something like the time stitching info on the 15000 and have taken readings when you start using the needle and constantly check it. I really don't think anyone would do that. Needles are changed for different types of fabric and thread so unless you monitor how many hours for each needle when you are are swapping them in and out - and even then that is not accurate unless you have a reading you can check - you will really have no idea. My rule of thumb is that if the stitch quality is fine and I am having no issues then why change the needle - what reason is there. Only if I am having issues do I dispose of a needle - and sometimes this has been a new needle that does not work from the moment I try to use it!
