Featuring an extra-large eye and a sharp, elongated point, these needles are perfect for use with thicker threads, including embroidery, metallic, and even poor-quality threads. The larger eye reduces friction on the thread, preventing shredding and breakage, ensuring smooth and even stitches, especially when working with challenging threads.

    The sharp point and reinforced shaft allow for precise stitching on a wide range of fabrics, from lightweight silks to heavy-duty fabrics like denim and canvas. Whether you're embellishing garments or creating bold decorative seams, Schmetz Topstitch Needles provide the precision and durability needed to handle heavy or poor-quality threads effectively.
