SCHMETZMicrotex Sharp Machine Needles, Size 10/70 5/Pkg

I have been sewing for years and these are the only needles I have found that allow me to sew jersey without skipping stitches. Skipped stitches are a headache and I get SO FRUSTRATED. I don't know what makes these different from regular needles but they work for me. The threadhole is tiny and hard to get the thread through but so are many others.

In today's quilting world of higher thread count fabrics, especially batik ones, these Microtex needles are superb for quilt piecing! I am totally impressed by their high polish, fine point, sculpted shank, etc. While they look delicate, they are VERY strong and pierce right through fabric, giving my fabric piecing a bit finer look! Coupled with Madiera or Aurifil thread, they really work well!

Great for making my quilt and for doing my embroidery love it works greatWorks great with 60 weight embroidery thread for quilting and machine embroidery love it

Glad to be able to buy these on line rather than having to drive to a fabric store. Good deal!

Great price on these sewing essentials. The microtex needles are so much sharper than universal needles. They are easier on fine fabrics and last longer.

good price.

Love these needles, long life.

I was faced with a sewing project involving a beautiful, yet evil fabric...satin. After reading every tip I could find on the subject, I realized Microtex/sharp needles were a common recommendation. They worked perfectly, keeping the fraying to a minimum and not leaving extremely obvious marks in the fabric (satin is easy to mar). I will use these for any fragile-fabric projects I encounter.
