Schmetz Microtex Needle 70/10 (130/705 H-M)

Schmetz Microtex Needle 70/10 (130/705 H-M)

In the photo you'll spot the familiar white Schmetz packaging with blue lettering right away, here in the Microtex version. The pink panel with water droplets on the back tells you exactly what this needle is made for: smooth, tightly woven fabrics where a standard needle often falls short. In the clear needle case lie five needles lined up neatly, recognizable by the purple and green color code of the 130/705 H-M system. The enlarged photo on the right shows just how slender and sharp the point is, exactly what you need to sew through fine, dense fibers without skipping or snagging.

Product Features:

• Item Number: NADEL70MIC
• Full package: 5 needles per pack. 20 packs per box

What is a Microtex needle

A Microtex needle stands out because of its extra thin, pointed tip. Where a universal needle can feel a bit blunt on fine fabrics, this needle glides through effortlessly without damaging or pulling the fibers. That makes it right for fabrics where precision matters: satin, organza, microfiber and other tightly woven qualities. The needle is part of the well-known 130/705 H-M system, which means it fits on almost every household sewing machine. Thanks to the strong, thin shaft, your stitch stays crisp and clean, even at high sewing speeds.

Applications and projects

This needle really shines in projects where a clean, tight stitch is essential and the fabric won't tolerate holes or pulled threads. Think of:

• Blouses and dresses in satin or chiffon
• Lining fabrics like polyester or acetate lining
• Microfiber and tightly woven synthetic fabrics
• Quilting with fine, precise stitches
• Appliques and decorative topstitching on smooth material
• Sewing organza and tulle for bridal work
• Repairs on delicate garments
• Topstitching where an inconspicuous stitch is wanted

In short

For anyone working with smooth or tightly woven fabrics, this Microtex needle is worth keeping on hand at all times. Browse the full range of needles or discover more haberdashery at Rijs Textiles to complete your next sewing project.
