Schmetz 25 Stretch Sewing Machine Needles 130/705H H-S Size 75/11

Great needle’s for doing formal alterations!

Great quality

Il n’y avait qu’un seul paquet sur 5 ! Très fâchée de cet achat ! Surtout que ça a pris une éternité à arriver !

I was worried about ordering these because the size in the photo was different than the size in the title. They are actually 75/11 Stretch, which is want I wanted. They’re great, I use them for everything that isn’t woven—plush elastic, fold over elastic, firm elastic, cotton/spandex, swimsuit nylon, lace, foam, you name it. These just seem to work great, and take a long time to dull. Maybe because they start out so rounded, to slip between fibers instead of pierce them, that getting dull doesn’t seem to be too big of an issue. Shameful to admit, but I usually end up breaking them before needing to replace them due to performance. No problem catching bobbin thread or shredding. I use a Singer 9985, so the max speed is only 850 stitches per minute. I’m not able to say how well they would work in a machine that stitches at a higher speed, but I imagine they’d be great.

Great value for the money and we use them quickly in our sewing classes.
