Schmetz Sewing Machine Needles

Microtex - size 60/8
Pack of 5

Schmetz needles are amongst the finest engineered sewing machine needles in the world.

Schmetz Microtex Needles are designed for stitching micro fibres and closely woven fibres such as poplin and silks. Their sharp points and strong, slim shafts also make them very useful for patchwork piecing.

These size 60 needles are perfect for very light-weight cotton thread, silk #100 or blended threads, monofilament (invisible), and extremely fine polyesters. They are ideal for miniature work and are probably the best choice for specialist jobs such as stitching through laminate plastic as they will leave smaller holes than will most other needles.

This pack contains five (5) needles. Always use a sharp new needle for quilting.

If you experience skipped stitches when using this needle, you might be using the wrong size needle for your thread. Try changing to a size 70/10 or 80/12 Microtex. Your top thread should nestle into the groove on the front of the needle shaft. If it doesn't fit easily, change to a larger needle.
