Schmetz Super Stretch Sewing Machine Needles One card of needles has 5 needles in it. The Super Stretch Needle can be used in all home sewing machines which require needle system 130/705 H, as well as in some overlock machines (information can be found in your machine manual). Due to its properties, HAx1SP is an alternative to the Stretch Needle when sewing with thicker sewing threads. The SCHMETZ Super Stretch Needle has a special flat shank which allows the needle to be closer to the hook. Additionally, the special design of the scarf area produces a larger needle thread loop which can easily be picked up by the hook. These features prevent skipped stitches on highly elastic fabrics. Features The reinforced blade causes less needle breakage and creates straighter stitches. As a result of the wider and shorter eye in combination with the widened groove, the HAx1SP is able to sew with thicker threads than the Universal or the Stretch Needle. The threads are less stressed and will not break. The HAx1SP has a medium ball point which is suitable for all kinds of knits. It displaces the meshes, avoiding damage to the material. This needle has a chrome coating which makes it more resistant against wear. “your sewing machine is only good as the needle your sewing with”Ferd Schmetz 1851
