Schmetz Stretch Twin Needle 2.5/75 (130/705 H-S ZWI)

You'll recognize this twin needle right away by the distinctive white Schmetz packaging with its red flip-top and blue lion quality mark. In the photo you can clearly see the two needles side by side on a shared shaft, spaced 2.5 millimeters apart. The package shows the needle against a soft lilac knit fabric, exactly the type of stretchy textile this needle is designed for. A small but essential tool if you regularly sew with stretch fabrics.

Product Features:

• Item Number: NADEL25STRTW
• Full pack: 5 needles per package. 20 packages per box

What is this material

The Stretch Twin has a rounded point specifically engineered to glide between the fibers of elastic textiles without damaging or piercing them. This prevents holes and ladders in your fabric, problems that a regular needle would cause with stretchy materials. The two needles on a single shaft create two parallel stitch lines with a single thread underneath, producing a nice elastic zigzag stitch on the underside. This makes the seam move with the fabric, so stitches won't tear when the material stretches. The needle works with most standard home machines that support twin needles.

Uses

This twin needle is a staple in the sewing box of anyone working with stretch fabrics. Think of:

• Hemming T-shirts and knit tops
• Decorative topstitching on sportswear and activewear
• Attaching bands and cuffs decoratively
• Hemming jersey dresses and skirts
• Securing elastic bands on lingerie
• Finishing necklines and armholes neatly
• Adding decorative stripes to stretch fabrics
• Hemming baby and children's knit clothing
