Schmetz Microtex Needles, Gauge 60 - 1 x 5 needles in a cassette

Schmetz Microtex Needles, Gauge 60 - 1 x 5 Needles on a card - Schmetz Microtex Needles - 5 pieces (130/705 H-M)
The Microtex needle is the best choice for very fine, tightly woven, and smooth fabrics such as silk, microfibers, batiste, lining fabrics, foils, and coated fabrics. Its extra-sharp, slender point pierces the fabric with great precision, giving you super-tight stitches and neat topstitching.

Available sizes

• 60/8 - ultra-fine fabrics (silk, organza, batiste)
• 70/10 - fine to lightweight fabrics (microfiber, lining, poplin)
• 80/12 - light to medium-weight, tightly woven fabrics

Features

• Type: 130/705 H-M (Microtex) - household needle
• Contents: 5 needles on a card/cassette
• For precision work, buttonholes, topstitching, and exquisite quilting

Tips

• Use a fine-gauge yarn (e.g., No. 60–80) and a short stitch (2–2.5 mm)
• Always test on a scrap piece of fabric and replace the needle at the first sign of resistance or loops
• Not ideal for knitted fabrics; for those, choose a jersey/stretch needle
