Schmetz Jeans Needle 100/16 (130/705 H-J)

In the photo you'll see the needles lying against a backdrop of sturdy denim, and that tells you exactly where these needles belong. The shaft has a distinct blue and purple color coding, so you'll recognize the needle right away when you're sorting through your stash. The point is sharp and firmly ground, made to pierce through tightly woven fabric without bending or breaking. In the box you'll find five needles neatly sorted and ready to screw straight into your sewing machine.

Product Features:

• Item Number: NADEL100JEA
• Full package: 5 needles per pack. 20 packs per box

What is this needle system

The 130/705 H-J system is the standard for household sewing machines and fits on pretty much any brand you use at home or in your studio. The H-J designation is specifically for the jeans variant, with a reinforced shaft and a thinner, tapered point than a standard universal needle. That combination means the needle goes through multiple layers of heavy fabric without breaking or causing skipped stitches. Thanks to the sturdy construction, the needle stays straight and sharp even during longer sewing sessions on thick material. When you're looking for sewing machine needles at the local shop or elsewhere, now you know exactly what type you need for denim fabric.

Uses and projects
