Schmetz Jersey Needle 80/12 (130/705 H SUK)

In the photo you'll see the recognizable white Schmetz packaging with orange accent, which points directly to the color code on the needle shaft itself. Through the window in the card sit five gleaming needles in a neat row, each with a finely polished shaft and a subtle orange marking just below the shank. That careful finish tells you right away what these needles are made for: smooth, snag-free sewing through elastic fabrics.

What is this material

These needles are type 130/705 H SUK, also known as a medium ballpoint needle. Rather than piercing the fibers of your fabric straight through, the rounded tip glides between the yarn loops of the knit and gently pushes them aside. This prevents holes or ladders from forming in your jersey or tricot. The polished shaft you see in the close-up photo allows the needle to move smoothly through the fabric without friction or overheating. This needle type is found in virtually every sewing machine brand thanks to the universal 130/705 system.

Uses and Projects

These needles belong in the sewing basket of anyone who regularly works with stretch fabrics. Think of projects like:

• Sewing t-shirts and long sleeves from cotton or viscose jersey
• Sportswear and activewear with stretch
• Baby and children's clothing in soft tricot
• Underwear and loungewear
• Dresses and skirts from jersey fabric
• Scarves and accessories in elastic tricot
• Repairs to existing jersey garments
• Sewing with other delicate knitted fabrics
