Schmeetz Needle Types
Schmetz produces a wide range of sewing machine needles, each designed for specific fabrics and techniques. Universal needles are perfect for everyday sewing on woven and knit fabrics, while Microtex (Sharps) needles give clean, precise stitches on fine fabrics such as silks and microfibres. For quilters, Quilting needles feature a special taper to stitch through multiple fabric layers without damaging fibres. Topstitch needles have an extra-long eye, ideal for thicker threads, decorative stitching, and quilting with precision. You’ll also find Denim needles for heavy fabrics like jeans, Embroidery needles for smooth thread delivery, and Leather needles with a wedge-shaped point for clean penetration without tearing. Whatever your project, Schmetz has the right needle to ensure professional-quality results.
