Super universal sewing machine needle, black with teflon coating

Attention embroidery fans!

This product is extremely well suited for your embroidery machine. Do you use self adhesive embroidery backing or use gluespray to stick on the stitch and tear embroidery fleece? You probably have had a disagreement with your embroidery machine. Because of the glue residue sticking to your needle your machine will not function at top efficiency. Causing failed stitches and thread breaks.

Embroidery not your thing? For sewing they are also handy

For the sewer these needles are great too. For example when sewing self adhesive velcro. That leaves residue as well and causes thread breaks... This is also true for sewing fabric that is glued with textile glue or glued in another way.
Thát's what these needles prevent. The super universal sewingmachine neeldes have the best qualities of the industrial sewing machine needles and can be used in your household sewingmachine! The best of two worlds 

Schmetz Super Universal Needles have a special non stick layer made from Nickel-Phosphorusr-PFTE or: TEFLON. This layer prevents glue residue from sticking to your needle and therefore it prevents thread breakage. 

Tip from the manufacturer: It's normal for needles with non stick coating to become lighter from sewing over time. This does not affect the anti adhesive properties.
With very light colored fabrics we recommend "sewing in the needle" on leftover fabric for about 1 m before using it for the first time

Another advantage of the Super Universal Sewingmachine needle: the larger needle eye! It's eye is bigger than with normal needles but not as big as the topstitching needles eye. 
The shape of the needle is also special, the hollow on the back and the specially designed eye prevent springstitches. And the needles point is slightly rounded which means it can be used for many different fabrics. It's called Universal for a reason!
