Black Super Stretch needles with a medium ball point; eye and thread groove are wider; the non-stick coating ensures better glideability and the special blade design helps to reduce needle breakage and skipped stitches; for sensitive highly elastic stretch fabrics such as lingerie fabrics. Delicate stretch fabrics and knitted fabrics often place high demands on the needle when sewing, which standard needles cannot always cope with. The Black Super Stretch needle with its special properties is a great alternative. The gliding nonstick coating ensures gentle handling of delicate fabrics. In combination with the wide eye and widened thread groove, it also prevents thread tearing - even for thicker threads. The shank is flatter than on other needles but still has the same diameter. The needle is therefore closer to the hook in order to prevent skipped stitches. The special shape of the needle blade ensures elastic fabrics can be sewn without any problems, reducing needle breakage and skipped stitches. The threads in knitted and woven fabrics are pushed aside by the medium ball point, which prevents the material from being damaged. The Black Super Stretch needle can be used on all conventional household sewing machines (e.g. Bernina, Elna, Juki, Janome, Husqvarna, Singer, W6 etc.). The Black Line was named after its black non-stick coating, which reduces adhesive residue on the needle and ensures that the needle glides better. New products are the Black Super Stretch needle (HAx1 SP SU) and the Black Super Fine needle (130/705 H-SU XS). The Super Universal needle already available in the range is now called “Black” Super Universal needle. Schmetz German-made sewing machine needles have been made to the highest quality since 1851.
