Schmetz HAx1 SP Super Stretch Needles - 90/14

The Schmetz Super Stretch round point needle is a great alternative to the Stretch needle. It has a special flat shank which allows the needle to be closer to the hook and the special design of the scarf area produces a larger loop of needle thread which can easily be picked up by the hook. These features prevent skipped stitches even on very stretchy fabrics. Reinforced blade and chrome coating cause less needle breakage, create straighter stitches and are more wear resistant. In addition, it has a wider and shorter eye and an enlarged groove, which allows it to sew with thicker sewing threads than the Universal or Stretch needle because the threads are less stressed and therefore do not break. Can be used in standard home sewing machines using the 130/705 H system, as well as some sergers (see machine manual).
