    When it comes to sewing stretchy fabrics like jersey, knits, and elastic materials, having the right needle is essential for achieving flawless results. Schmetz offers a range of Jersey and Stretch Needles, each designed with specific properties to ensure your sewing projects are smooth, durable, and free from skipped stitches. Whether you're working with lightweight T-shirts, swimwear, or heavier knit garments, Schmetz Jersey and Stretch Needles are the ideal tools to keep your projects professional and seamless.

    Jersey Needles

    Schmetz Jersey Needles are crafted with a medium ball point, designed to gently slip between the yarns of knit fabrics without causing damage. These needles are perfect for sewing everyday knits like jersey, interlock, and other synthetic stretch materials. The medium ball point prevents holes and snags, ensuring smooth stitching with reduced risk of skipped stitches.

    Recommended Fabrics for Jersey Needles: Lightweight to medium knits / Jersey, interlock, tricot / Stretchy synthetic fabrics

    Stretch Needles

    For extremely elastic fabrics, such as Lycra, elastane, or any fabric containing a high degree of stretch, Schmetz Stretch Needles offer superior performance.

Stretch Needles are particularly effective when sewing swimwear, activewear, or fabrics with elastic fibres.

    Recommended Fabrics for Stretch Needles: Highly elastic fabrics / Lycra, spandex, elastane blends / Swimwear, sportswear, and stretch velvet
