Needles
The sewing machine needle plays an important
role in successful sewing. To ensure you will get
a quality needle, we recommend Schmetz brand
needles of sys tem 130/705H.
The needle case contains needles of the most
used size for sewing woven and stretch fabrics.
A Standard needles 70, 80, 90
These needles are used for sewing all woven
fabrics. The needle point is designed to pene-
trate between the threads of the fabric so the
fabric will not be damaged.
B Stretch needles 75, 90
These needles are used for sewing knit-
ted and stretch fabrics. The stretch needle is
marked yellow and has a rounded point.
C Jeans needles 90, 100
These needles are used for sewing woven
heavy fabrics, for example denim, canvas fab-
ric. The jeans needle is marked blue and has
an extremely sharp point to facilitate the pen-
etrating of the fabric.
D Wing needle 100
The wing needle is used for hemstitching
in natural fi ber woven fabrics with special
stitches on the Heirloom Stitches Menu. The
needle has “wings” to push the threads of the
fabric aside forming holes where the needle
penetrates the fabric.
