Protect and perfectly stitch your most delicate fabrics with genuine Schmetz Black Superfine Sewing Machine Needles, designed specifically for domestic household use. Engineered with an advanced, low-friction anti-adhesive coating (NIT), these premium needles glide effortlessly through sensitive textiles without pulling yarns or dragging fine fibers. Featuring a slim, slightly rounded point and a specialized scarf shape, these needles ensure optimal loop pickup and precise stitch placement on lightweight woven or knitted garments. Why Choose Schmetz Black Super Fine Needles? - Premium Anti-Adhesive NIT Coating: The smooth non-stick finish reduces friction significantly, allowing the needle to pass smoothly through delicate layers while resisting sticky residue if working with temporary basting or stabilizers.- Ultra-Slim Precision Point: The slender, slightly rounded point cleanly splits delicate fabric threads rather than puncturing them, preventing runs, pulls, or puckered seams.- Dedicated Lightweight Sizing: Packed in retail cards of 5 pieces, these needles are available in delicate domestic sizes from 60 to 80 (including size 70/10), making them the absolute best choice for high-end tailoring. Perfect for sewing silk, organza, chiffon, batiste, lace, fine jersey, lingerie, and lightweight microfiber fabrics. *Note for professional crafters: When stitching on highly sensitive, very light, or stark white fabrics and threads, we recommend running a quick test scrap first to check for any slight initial coating residue.* Select your exact required size package from our dropdown menu.

Schmetz Double Eye Machine Needles Size 80/12 5 Piece Card SCH-718977 Standard, slightly rounded point with two needle eyes. The Double Eye Needle has two eyes and is designed for sewing with 2 upper threads (needle threads). It can therefore be used to create decorative effects when quilting and when using decorative stitches. When using top threads of the same color, the seam is thicker and therefore attracts more attention, creating an effect similar to when using a thicker thread. You can create unique highlights with the Double Eye Needle when using sewing threads in different colors or using multi-coloured threads: Because there are two eyes, the sequence of the threads is always fixed unlike when using two threads in one eye. This is particularly attractive when using decorative stitches.

Overlock Universal Sewing Machine Needles by Schmetz for Domestic Machines Special sewing machines like overlock and coverlock machines often require special needle systems such as the ELx705 CF (Chrome Finish). These unique needles are adapted to the requirements of the respective model and are not interchangeable with other household or overlock needles. Like most household needles, the SCHMETZ ELx705 CF Overlock Needle has a flat shank for easy positioning in the sewing machine. The key feature of the ELx705 CF Overlock Needle that distinguishes it from other household needles is the second thread groove. It supports the formation of chain stitches, such as overlock or coverlock stitches, and ensures that only low thread tension is required to form the stitch. The ELx705 CF Overlock Needle also has a special blade design. This prevents needle deflection, which helps to stop the needle from breaking even at the high working speeds of overlock machines. What's more, it helps to form extra straight stitches. Like the Universal Needle, the ELx705 CF has a slightly rounded needle point, making it universally applicable and suitable for handling a wide variety of materials.
