SCHMETZ January 2022 Newsletter
Welcome to the January 2022 edition of the SCHMETZ newsletter, bringing you the latest in sewing needle technology and best practices.
Introducing the New Topstitch Needle
SCHMETZ is proud to announce the release of its innovative Topstitch needle, designed specifically for decorative threads and challenging topstitching applications. This advanced needle features a larger eye to accommodate thicker threads and a specially designed groove that protects delicate threads from breakage. The Topstitch needle ensures smooth, consistent stitching, preventing thread fraying and skipped stitches, making it ideal for intricate quilting, detailed embroidery, and high-quality decorative sewing projects.
Essential Guide: Selecting the Right Needle for Your Fabric
Choosing the correct sewing machine needle is crucial for achieving professional results and protecting both your fabric and your machine. SCHMETZ offers a wide range of needles, each tailored for specific materials and techniques. Generally, consider the fabric type, weight, and weave when making your selection:
- For Knits and Stretchy Fabrics: Use a ballpoint needle (e.g., SAN 10). Its rounded tip gently pushes the fabric fibers aside, preventing runs and tears.
- For Woven Fabrics, Denim, and Canvas: A sharp point needle (e.g., NM 705 H, also known as a universal needle) is recommended. Its sharp tip pierces the fabric cleanly, ensuring precise stitches without damage.
- For Leather and Vinyl: Specialized needles with a cutting point (e.g., Leather Point) are necessary to penetrate these dense materials effectively.
Consulting a detailed needle guide or the SCHMETZ product catalog can help you identify the perfect needle for any sewing task.
