SCHMETZ Stretch Chrome Sewing Machine Needles

SCHMETZ Stretch Chrome Needles in size 90/14 are designed for sewing highly elastic and stretch fabrics. They are an excellent choice for projects made with fabrics containing elastane or spandex, including activewear, swimwear, leggings and other fitted stretch garments.

What Are Stretch Needles Used For?

SCHMETZ Stretch Needles are designed for highly elastic knit fabrics and fabrics containing spandex or elastane. Their special design helps the sewing machine form stitches correctly when working with materials that can otherwise be prone to skipped stitches.
