Schmetz – Chrome Microtex Machine Needle | Size 60/8 | 5ct

The Microtex is generically known as a sharp needle, and the name is the whole point: a very slim, acute point that pierces densely woven fabric cleanly instead of pushing threads aside. That is what makes it the needle for batiks. Chrome plating resists heat and wear, so it stays cooler through long piecing sessions with less stitch distortion and less friction on the thread. At 60/8 it is the finest Microtex we carry — reach for it on the high-thread-count batiks from Batik Textiles, Island Batik and Hoffman Bali, and anywhere a visible seam has to sit perfectly straight. Fits all home sewing machine brands.
