  • Very thin and sharp
Great for fine thin fabrics like silk type stuff. Be careful when threading. They're easy to break bc they're so fine.

  • Fine needle for chiffon.
These needles are for sewing lighter fabrics. Theyre ultra fine and work very well. I broke two of them because I accidentally forgot to switch them out when I was sewing heavier fabrics. But if you use them for the fabrics they're intended for you should have no problem. I sewed on two chiffon dresses and other light fabrics and as you can see by the image I posted, it did a great job. ... show more

  • Wow! What a great company
I just want to thank you for the way you handles returns. The thread I use does not fit the eye of the sewing needle, otherwise they are well made needles and I would use them. What's really great is these needles have a blue band on them so you know that is the front and how far to push the needle into the holder. Great experience. ... show more

  • Great stitching, tiny eye
This needle makes a perfect stitch on silk garment I am sewing. Fit my Janome with no problem. The tiny thread eye is a challenge.

  • Chiffon
These are fantastic. I have always had trouble with my machine eating chiffon, but these needles did the trick. Not one pucker or pull in the delicate fabric.

  • Schmetz needles are the best
Schmetz is our go-to brand for machine needles. These microtex sharps are designed for precise stitching: Textile structure won't throw them off course.

  • Worked perfect!
I bought these to try an invisible machine appliqué technique. They worked absolutely perfect! It's pretty rare I try something new and am so amazed. I expected at least some hiccup. It worked like a charm!
