Schmetz Microtex Needle Assortment (130/705 H-M)

You'll spot the familiar white Schmetz packaging with blue lettering right away in the photo, here in the Microtex line. The pink back panel with water droplets tells you exactly what this needle is made for: smooth, densely woven fabrics where you need a razor-sharp point. Five needles lie neatly in a row inside the clear needle case, each marked with a purple colour code for the 130/705 H-M system. The enlarged photo on the right shows just how slender and pointed this needle is, designed to glide smoothly through finely woven fibres without damaging the fabric.

Product Features:

• Item Number: NADEL00MIC
• Full packaging: 5 needles per pack. 20 packs per box

What is a Microtex needle

The Microtex needle was developed for fabrics with dense, smooth weaves where a standard needle can quickly cause damage or pulled threads. Thanks to its extra-slender and sharp point, this needle pierces the fibres at exactly the right spot without disturbing the weave structure. You'll notice this assortment includes different sizes in one pack, from fine to slightly sturdier, so you have the right size for every fabric type. This variety makes it a staple in any sewist's needle box. The needles fit most household machines with the standard 130/705 system.
