Schmetz Universal Needles 70/10 (130/705 H)

This distinctive white Schmetz box with its blue label holds five universal sewing machine needles in size 70/10, the finest gauge in the Universal line. In the photo you can see the characteristic slender needle with the green color dot indicating the gauge, neatly packaged in its clear plastic holder. This thin needle is specially designed for light, delicate fabrics where a heavier needle would cause damage.

About this needle system

The 130/705 H needle system is the standard for household sewing machines and fits virtually every brand and model. The universal point is lightly rounded, allowing the needle to handle both woven fabrics and lightweight knits without needing a separate jersey needle right away. Schmetz has been known for decades as a reliable German needle manufacturer, and these needles are made from high-quality steel with a smooth, chrome-plated finish that glides smoothly through fabric. The precision of the point and eye means fewer stitch problems and more consistent thread tension.

Uses and Projects

The 70/10 is the needle you reach for whenever you're working with thin or delicate fabrics. Think of:
