SCHMETZ SEWING MACHINE NEEDLES - Metallica - SIZE 80/12
Schmetz needles are amongst the finest engineered sewing machine needles in the world.
Schmetz Metallica Needles are designed for use with sensitive metallic threads. Metallic threads are made typically with a rayon or nylon core which is then sheathed in a fairly fragile coloured metallic layer. The problem most commonly encountered with metallic threads is that the outer metallic sheath splits and then ruches up the nylon core until the thread snaps. These metallic needles have been designed so that the inner surface of the eye is extremely forgiving against the metallic thread, producing as little friction as possible.
These needles are perfect for medium weight metallic threads.The groove on this needle will fit and protect most medium weight metallics threads.
This pack contains five (5) needles. For best results, always use a sharp new needle for your project. If skipped stitches occur when using this needle, you are probably using a needle which is a little bit too small. Try changing to a size 90/14 Topstitch needle.
