The Schmetz Embroidery needle protects fragile threads and guards against excess friction allowing trouble-free embroidery and decorative stitching. The Embroidery Needle has an extra-wide needle eye and a wide thread groove. These ensure that sewing and embroidery threads glide effortlessly through the groove and eye and are handled gently without tearing. The medium ball point helps to avoid damage to the embroidery thread and the embroidery base. Suitable for embroidering with embroidery machines and also for decorative stitches or free motion embroidery (needle painting) with household sewing machines. Schmetz needles are compatible with the following sewing machines, Singer, Viking, Janome, Elna, Necchi, Brother, Baby Lock, Juki, Bernina and Pfaff.
