Schmetz Topstitch Needles 90/14 (130 N)

You'll recognize this pack straight away by the trusted blue Schmetz lettering and the clear needle case with five needles lined up neatly in a row. In the photo you can clearly see the turquoise marking on the shaft, which lets you spot this topstitch needle at a glance and tell it apart from a standard universal needle. The fabric in the background shows exactly what this needle is made for: crisp, eye-catching decorative stitching with heavier thread that sits beautifully on top of the fabric.

What is this material

A topstitch needle isn't fabric but a sewing machine needle, specially designed for stitching with heavier decorative threads like topstitch thread or multiple strands of embroidery floss at once. The eye is noticeably large and the groove at the front is extra deep, so thick thread slides through the fabric without fraying or breaking. The point is sharp and slender, which gives you neat, even stitches without puckering the fabric. These needles are made from sturdy steel and last a long time with normal use, as long as you replace them promptly when working on projects with lots of decorative stitching.
