Schmetz 130/705 H-S Stretch Needles are great for sewing bulky, plush, fleece, and highly elastic fabrics. They have a medium ballpoint and a specially designed eye and scarf to help reduce skipped stitches. These features make this needle perfect for knits and elastic or stretch fabrics. 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 Fleece Needles have a yellow top band. Schmetz Fleece Needles come as a pack of five assorted needles (containing each of the following: Schmetz 130/705 H-S Stretch Needles (2) 75/11, (3) 90/14) 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.
