Ballpoint needles are specifically designed for sewing knit fabrics and stretchy materials. The blunt point preserves the elasticity of the fabric by allowing the thread to pass between the fibers of the fabric rather than through them.
These high-quality industrial needles by Schmetz have completely round upper shanks and are without burrs that cause broken stitches and separations in thread strands. Needle system: 135 x 17. 10 needles per pack.
Needle sizes can be listed two different ways, for example, a #14 needle is also a 90 (European description) needle. The larger the number, the larger the needle (e.g., a #10 is a small needle and a #22 is a large needle).
These needles fit the following sewing machines:
