Schmetz Universal 16/100

Schmetz Universal Machine Needle Size 16/100

Universal Needle
A general purpose needle that can be used on knit or woven fabrics. A casual sewer who might repair a pair of jeans today, a child’s t-shirt tomorrow, and some lingerie next month will probably use this needle most often. It will do a number of tasks sufficiently.

Light ballpoint needle for all woven and knitted fabrics. Designed to prevent shredding and breakage when sewing with metallic and other machine embroidery threads.

It has a long scarf that is great for zigzag stitching and it does not damage knits. It is sharp enough to go through a lot of fabrics but it does have a slight ball point which does not make it ideal for going through many layers or high thread count fabrics.
