A Super Universal Needle with a non-stick coating of NIT (Nickel-Phosphor-PTFE). Extra-large eye is suitable for embroidery work.

Strong conical blade reinforcement easily handles thick fabrics like denim. Fabric Use: Machine embroidery, hook and loop tapes, general sewing. Five needles per package.

Don't know what to think

I had high hopes when I ordered these but trying to sew Velcro through a rod was next to impossible. The needles got stuck and I had to go through 3 needles before giving up. BUT - maybe that's not what they were meant for.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Unreliable

Disappointing

The needles did a really good job of sewing but the non stick coating didn't seem to help my quilts at all even though I used the same amount as usual. I'm going to (pun intended) use my superior topstitch needles and just clean them as needed while I quilt the project.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some mistakes

Excellent quality non-stick needles

I often use washable seam tape for sewing and housework and permanent tape for outerwear. For decades I've used small alcohol swabs to scrape glue off my sewing needle during and after projects. When I discovered these non-stick needles, I was blown away. They really work great! They are a great help when sewing special projects. What a waste of time and frustration! Well packaged and arrived on time. I am a loyal user of Schmetz needles. They make the best needles I have ever used! I know I…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion
