Black Super Stretch Needles - Size 75/11 - Pack of 5 - Schmetz
£6.80

The Schmetz Black Super Stretch Needle has a non-stick coating, which ensures that the needle glides better - thereby making sure that delicate and highly elastic fabrics are handled with care.

Special features:

Nonstick surface
Wide eye
Widened thread groove
Special blade design
Stronger shank flattening
Point shape: Medium ball point

Delicate stretch fabrics and knitted fabrics often place high demands on the needle when sewing, which standard needles cannot always cope with. The Black Super Stretch Needle with its special properties is a great alternative here:

The gliding non-stick coating ensures gentle handling of delicate fabrics. In combination with the wide eye and widened thread groove, it also prevents thread tearing – even for thicker threads.

The shank is flatter than on other needles but still has the same diameter. The needle is therefore closer to the hook in order to prevent skipped stitches. The special shape of the needle blade ensures elastic fabrics can be sewn without any problems, reducing needle breakage and skipped stitches.

Tips: It is normal for the surface of needles with a non-stick coating to become lighter from sewing over time. This does not affect the anti-adhesive properties. With very light-colored fabrics, Schmetz recommend "sewing in" the needle on leftover fabric for about 1 metre before using it for the first time.
