Schmetz Microtex Pack of 5 Needles NM 80 / Size 12.

The SCHMETZ Microtex sewing machine needle is generically known as a "sharp" needle. The very slim acute point creates beautiful topstitching on fashion sewing and perfectly straight stitches for piecing and quilting. Use the SCHMETZ Microtex when precision is paramount.

Needle System

• 130/705 H-M

Tip

• When quilting batik fabrics that are typically very densely woven, the Microtex Needle can achieve particularly precise seams.
• Acute points are more sensitive than rounded or ball points: You should therefore check the needle for damage more frequently and replace it in good time.
