Schmetz Super Universal 80/12

The needle is particularly suited for sewing on self-adhesive elements.
The wide range of additional characteristics make sewing many – even difficult – materials much easier: This is why “super” is included in the name.

Features & Suitability

• Suitable for Hook-and-loop tape and any adhesive situation
• Material processing from thin to thick
• Nonstick surface
• Longer and wider eye
• Special blade design
• Enlarged groove
• Slightly rounded point

If you've ever worked with non-woven backing, adhesive spray or other self-adhesive elements, then you'll have probably encountered adhesive residue collecting on your needle, which can lead to skipped stitches or even torn threads. So, what’s so special about the Super Universal Needle? It has an extra smooth nonstick coating, which means that much less adhesive residue remains on the surface of the needle.

Large eye: The Super Universal Needle has an extra large eye. This makes it ideal for embroidery work or sewing with thicker threads. Special scarf: The scarf on the Super Universal Needle has been specially designed so that no stitches are skipped.

The special blade design and high-quality workmanship enable powerful penetration without needle breakage, even when working with thicker materials.

By the way:

It is normal for the surface of needles with a nonstick coating to become lighter from sewing over time. This does not affect the anti-adhesive properties.

With very light coloured fabrics, we recommend "sewing in" the needle on leftover fabric for about 1 m before using it for the first time.
