SCHMETZ Needles
SCHMETZ Professional Grade Chrome Stretch Needles
The needle of choice when sewing with stretchy knits. The needle has a medium ballpoint. The short and narrow eye and deep scarf are specially designed to prevent skipped stitches. SCHMETZ Stretch preforms well on fabrics with elastic, Lycra® or Spandex.
PS: Did you know Spandex is an anagram for “expands”?
Available in sizes 75/11 and 90/14.
