Description
The right point decides whether the fabric is pierced or pushed apart. Inside the pack are 1x 6,0/100.
Anyone sewing different fabrics keeps several sizes ready and swaps, rather than attempting everything with one. Fine cloth asks for a fine needle, firm cloth for a strong one — true for hand sewing as much as for the machine. Cutting the thread short and pulling it smooth threads faster than a frayed end ever will. The pack states the size, so buying more later stays easy. Anyone sewing regularly likes to keep such notions in duplicate.
What Schmetz machine needle 6,0/100 is suitable for
- Darning and mending
- Sewing on buttons and trims
- Work at the sewing machine
Frequently asked questions
Which size should I pick?
The fine one for cotton and silk, the strong one for denim and coat fabric. An assortment in the box takes the decision away, because the right size always lies alongside.
What do I need for jersey?
A needle with a rounded point that slides between the loops instead of piercing them. An ordinary point creates small ladders that show up later.
Why do needles corrode?
Moisture and hand perspiration are enough. Dry storage and a quick wipe after work keep them bright; a filled pincushion protects further. A rusty needle belongs in the bin, because it leaves marks on fabric.
Are they good for embroidery too?
Embroidery needles have a larger eye and often a blunt point so they run between the threads. On counted work that is the difference between pleasure and struggle.
