What is this material

This twin needle consists of two complete needle points mounted together on a shared shaft, with a fixed spacing of 2.5 millimetres between them. The point itself is ground universally, meaning it works well on both woven fabrics and light to medium-weight knits. Thanks to this construction, one stitch motion creates two parallel seams, with a zigzag stitch automatically formed underneath for stretch. The size 80 thickness makes this needle suitable for most standard sewing threads and medium-weight fabrics. Like all Schmetz needles, the finish is precise and quality is consistent, so you get the same neat result stitch after stitch.

Uses

A twin needle is essential whenever you want to create decorative or functional double stitching. Think of these applications:

• Finishing hems on T-shirts and jersey garments
• Decorative topstitching on trousers and skirts
• Mimicking a coverstitch look without a special machine
• Neatly securing collar and cuff edges
• Stretch hems in sportswear and loungewear
• Decorative stitching on tablecloths and home decor
• Reinforcing seams on knit and jersey fabrics
• Adding parallel topstitching to quilting projects
