Schmetz Ball Point (Jersey) Needles are a must-have for anyone working with knit or stretch fabrics. Their rounded tip gently pushes between the fabric threads rather than piercing them, which helps prevent skipped stitches, snags, or damage to the material. This makes them ideal for sewing jersey, interlock, rib knits, and other stretchy textiles. The needle’s design ensures smooth stitching and reduces the risk of runs or holes, especially in delicate or lightweight knits. Whether you're crafting a comfy tee or a cozy pair of leggings, these needles offer reliability and finesse with every stitch.
Needle Size | Fabric Type | Recommended Use |
---|---|---|
70/10 | Lightweight knits (e.g. silk jersey, fine rib) | Delicate garments, baby clothes |
80/12 | Medium-weight knits (e.g. cotton jersey, interlock) | T-shirts, dresses, casual wear |
90/14 | Heavier knits (e.g. sweatshirt fleece, double knit) | Hoodies, leggings, structured knit garments |
