Chrome Quilting Needles, Schmetz (5pk)

Schmetz Chrome Professional Grade needles are designed for sewists, quilters, and embroidery enthusiasts who are sewing faster and more intensely than ever! These chrome-plated needles are beneficial in resisting heat and wear by staying cooler longer, avoiding stitch distortion, and ultimately produce less friction and resistance. Schmetz 130/705 H-Q Quilting Needles feature a slim acute point and tapered tip that makes this needle excellent for piercing tightly woven quilting material without causing damage. These needles are made specifically for piecing and machine quilting. The thin tapered form of these needles allow them to move through many layers smoothly to help eliminate skipped stitches while keeping stitches even. These needles come in two sizes: size 75/11, which is fine for piecing with 50 weight threads, or size 90/14, which works well with heavier plain or variegated 40 weight threads for quilting. These needles can be used in household sewing machine brands where needles with a flat shank are required.

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 Quilting Needles have a green top band. Schmetz 130/705 H-Q Quilting Needles is a pack of five needles 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.
