Super Universal Needles - Size 80/12 - Pack of 5 - Schmetz

The Schmetz Super Universal Needle has a non-stick coating and is particularly suited for sewing on self-adhesive elements.

Special features:

• Nonstick surface
• Longer and wider eye
• Special blade design
• Enlarged groove
• Point shape: Slightly rounded point

If you've ever worked with non-woven backing, adhesive spray or other self-adhesive elements, then you'll have probably encountered adhesive residue collecting on your needle, which can lead to skipped stitches or even torn threads. The Super Universal Needle has an extra smooth non-stick coating, which means that much less adhesive residue remains on the surface of the needle.

Thanks to its slightly rounded point, most materials can be handled carefully and easily with this needle.

The wide range of additional characteristics make sewing many – even difficult – materials much easier: This is why “super” is included in the name! This needle makes it easier to sew numerous demanding materials, such as heavy fabrics like jeans or felt, hook-and-loop fasteners or belt straps. 

Tips: It is normal for the surface of needles with a non-stick coating to become lighter from sewing over time. This does not affect the anti-adhesive properties. With very light-colored fabrics, Schmetz recommend "sewing in" the needle on leftover fabric for about 1 metre before using it for the first time.
