Hemstitch sewing machine needle has a wing on each side of the needle. At stitch creation, the wings spread the fabric for a unique stitch. The Hemstitch needle moves easily through light to medium-weight loosely woven fabrics. Popular for heirloom sewing and decorative cutwork, the Hemstitch needle can be used in multi-media quilts.
Jersey sewing machine needle is also known as a ball point needle. The medium ball point is designed to avoid breakage of knit fibers at stitch creation. Use on knit and stretch knit fabrics. The SCHMETZ Jersey needle works with all home sewing machine brands.
Quilting sewing machine needle is specifically designed for piecing and quilting. With a special taper to the slightly rounded point, the needle easily penetrates fabric and helps eliminate skipped stitches.
Universal needle is the most popular, all-purpose needle type. With a slightly rounded point, the Universal needle sews woven and knit fabrics. The Universal needle is available in the widest range of sizes plus twin. Twin Universal needles mounted on one shank create two rows of stitches simultaneously.
