Schmetz Quilting and Patchwork Set

Worth knowing:

Needle colors

To make it easier to recognize needles for home sewing machines taken out of the package, SCHMETZ uses colored markings on the cone of the shank.

• - UNIVERSAL (STANDARD) - no markings
• - JERSEY BALL POINT (with a ball - for jersey and knitwear) - orange
• - STRETCH - yellow
• - JEANS/DENIM - blue color
• - MICROTEX (for microfibre and silk) - purple
• - EMBROIDERY (with a larger embroidery eyelet) - red
• - OUILTING (for quilting and patchwork) - green

Stocking test

If you're sewing fabrics that are susceptible to damage (especially knits) and you're unsure whether the needle tip will damage the fabric, try a simple test. Prick a stretched (old) stocking with the needle several times. If the stitches don't come loose, sew with confidence!

How to store needles

Needles should be stored in their factory packaging - never loose, as this causes damage to the tip, which in turn causes irreversible losses in the form of material damage.

We invite you to purchase sewing needles for various materials, additional bobbins, and presser feet for your machine. You can find everything in the "Accessories" category.
