Schmetz Stretch Needles 705HS (5-Pack)
Schmetz Stretch Needles 130/705HS (5-Pack)
Needle Sizes Available: Size 75/11, 90/14
Package Contents: 5 needles per pack for extended sewing projects
Primary Use and Fabric Types:
The Schmetz Stretch Needle 130/705HS is specifically designed for sewing highly elastic materials and knit fabrics, preventing skipped stitches and fabric damage. The key feature of the stretch needle is its design, which includes a medium ball point, a smaller eye, and a deep scarf (an indentation above the eye). This construction allows the needle to push aside fabric fibers rather than piercing them, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity and elasticity of the material.
It is the ideal choice for projects involving:
- Highly elastic materials containing Lycra®, Spandex®, or elastic
- Activewear and performance wear
- Swimwear and lingerie
- Various knit fabrics, including ribbed knits, minky, and synthetic suede
- Sewing directly through elastic bands
Benefits:
- Prevents skipped stitches: The deep scarf design provides extra room for the sewing machine's hook to reliably catch the thread, even as the fabric stretches and shifts during the sewing process
- Reduces fabric damage: The ball point tip glides between the loops of knit fabrics instead of puncturing them, which helps prevent runs, snags, and visible holes
- Ensures smooth stitching: It helps prevent the fabric from bunching, puckering, or distorting, leading to a more professional finish on challenging materials
Needle System: 15x1 HAx1 130/705 (Universal system compatible with most home sewing machines)
Professional Tip: For standard, less elastic knits (like basic cotton jersey), a ballpoint/jersey needle may also work, but the stretch needle offers superior performance for fabrics with a high elastic content (generally over 15% elastic fibers).
