Schmetz Sewing Machine Needles – Stretch #90/14

Schmetz is a world leader in the sewing machine needle industry, and has been manufacturing needles in Germany since 1851.   

Stretch needles have a medium ball point, a special eye and scarf, specially designed to prevent skipped stitches.  The needles work well with highly elastic knitwear.   Spend time testing different sized needles before embarking on a new project.  

Replacing your machine needle with a quality Schmetz needle, of the correct type and size, is the easiest way to improve stitch quality.  Poor quality machine needles, or damaged or overused needles, result in

• Threads breaking or threading
• Skipped or uneven stitches
• Puckered or damaged fabric
• Popping sounds made as the needle punctures the fabric.
