    Product Overview

    Schmetz Sewing Machine Needles Microtex Size 80/12 Pack of 5

    The Microtex needle has a very slim acute point for easier piecing of very fine or densely woven fabrics.

    Use for the precise stitching of edges, also for silk, microfibre fabrics, coated materials, foils and artificial leather. The very sharp point makes this needle ideal for tightly woven fabrics including synthetic materials like polyester, silk and laminates.

    Perfect for fine appliqué work.

    The special point enables accurate stitches in extremely fine or densely woven materials.

    The needle is suitable for particularly straight stitches when topstitching on edges.
