What is this Microtex needle

The Microtex needle has an extra slender, sharp point specifically designed for microfibers and densely woven, smooth fabrics. Thanks to its thin 60/8 gauge, this needle leaves barely any holes in delicate material. The point penetrates the fibers with minimal resistance without pulling or damaging the fabric. This makes it suitable for work where a tight, neatly finished stitch is essential. Schmetz quality ensures consistent, reliable performance during longer sewing sessions.

Uses and projects

This needle works well for projects where precision and an inconspicuous stitch matter. Think of the following applications.

• Quilt projects with thin, densely woven pieces
• Topstitching on light, smooth materials
• Handkerchiefs and fine linen accessories
• Appliqué on tightly woven fabrics
• Precision work such as inserting zippers in thin fabric
• Sewing linings and organza
