Microtex (Sharp) Needles by SCHMETZ

$6.29

By SCHMETZ

We use these specialized needles mainly for working with eveningwear fabrics that snag easily like silk charmeuse, silk chiffon, silk haboitai, silk georgette, cotton sateen, delicate polyesters or metallic lamé, foils, thin artificial leather, coated materials or very delicate materials that don’t pierce easily. Very thin acute point creates beautiful topstitching when precision is paramount. These will break easily if used for heavier materials or thick seams.

Wear eye protection.

    Schmetz needles use a dual numbering system to indicate their size.

    The first number (e.g., 70, 80) is the European or metric size, (diameter in hundredths of a millimeter; a 70/10 needle has a diameter of 0.7mm) while the second number (e.g., 10, 12) is the corresponding US or ‘Singer’ size.

    Smaller numbers indicate finer needles, and larger numbers indicate thicker needles.

    Schmetz needles also use color bands to further indicate needle type (top band) and size (bottom band)

    130/705 H is the needle system used by nearly all home sewing machines. 130/705 refers to a needle with a flat shank. The H refers to a German word, Hohlkehle, that translates to scarf. So 130/705 H is a flat shank needle with a scarf. All brands of home sewing machines use system 130/705 H - Baby Lock, Bernina, Brother, Elna, Husqvarna Viking, Janome, Juki, Pfaff, White, and more.
