Schmetz 130 MET ZWI Metallic Twin Needles are two metallic needles mounted on one shank that create two rows of stitches simultaneously. These needles are a must for sewing with metallic threads. The elongated eye and enlarged groove make this needle immaculate for trouble-free sewing and embroidery with the more fragile metallic threads. It has a double-sized, polished, and Teflon-coated eye to guarantee a smooth flow of the thread. Ever struggled with metallics before and blamed the thread? Try again with this specialty needle for trouble-free embellishment with these stunning but delicate threads. Please Note: In order to use a Twin Needle, your machine must have a front or top loading bobbin, a zig-zag stitch, AND the flat side of the needle shank facing the back of your machine.

Most Schmetz Needles include two color-coded bands just below the shank. The top color indicates the type of needle, and the lower color indicates the size. The Schmetz Metallic Twin Needle does not have a color code. Schmetz 130 MET ZWI Metallic Twin Needle comes as one needle in a plastic case that slides shut for safe storage. The needle system, needle type, and needle size are printed on the front of the case.
