Description
The Schmetz universal needle in size 60/8 is the sewing machine needle for fine, lightweight fabrics. On delicate material a thick needle leaves visible puncture marks, whereas here the seam stays discreet. My tip: rethread and change the needle before you start a new sewing project, a blunt needle is often the reason for skipped stitches.
