What is needle system 130/705 H

The 130/705 H system is the standard needle size for almost all domestic sewing machines, from Bernina to Pfaff and Brother. The universal needle has a slightly rounded point, which means it pierces both woven fabrics and light knits cleanly without damaging the fibres. The 80/12 thickness is one of the most commonly used sizes and works nicely on medium-weight fabrics. Thanks to the polished finish, the needle glides smoothly through the material, with less chance of skipped stitches or thread breakage. A reliable workhorse needle that shouldn't be missing from any sewing basket.
