Standard needles are often not suitable for delicate stretchy and knitted fabrics. Schmetz's Black Super Stretch needles are perfect for sewing, for example, stretchable lace and special fabrics for lingerie and swimwear. The smooth, non-stick surface of the needle is gentle on these delicate fabrics. The combination of the large eye and the thread groove prevents the thread from snapping and the shape of the needle blade prevents needle breakage or missed stitches. The fabric is not damaged during sewing, because the ball-shaped tip gently pushes the threads in the fabric aside. Available in needle size NM 75 and 90. Each pack contains 5 needles.
