Description
The right point decides whether the fabric is pierced or pushed apart. The pack holds 5x80. The material is steel verchromt.
The needle decides the stitch: too blunt and it pulls threads, too thick and it leaves holes in the weave. 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 80 in Silver is suitable for
- Hand sewing and basting
- Darning and mending
- Sewing on buttons and trims
Frequently asked questions
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.
How do I thread more easily?
Cut the thread smooth, hold it against a pale background and bring the needle to the thread rather than the other way round. A threader takes over on tired evenings.
How should needles be kept?
In a wallet, a case or on a cushion — sorted, and out of reach of children. Loose needles in a drawer are usually found with a fingertip.
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.
