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.
