Schmetz 130/705 H-Wing SES Bx1 Machine Needle

Schmetz 130/705 H-Wing SES Bx1 Machine Needle, 1pce - #100 The Hemstitch Needle, also known as a sword or wing needle, is used for decorative stitches, broderie anglaise and whitework embroidery in loosely woven fabrics such as linen. When sewing, holes are created in the seam, acting as a decorative element. Hemstitch seams can therefore be sewn easily with the sewing machine, even without having to remove the threads in the woven fabric beforehand like you do when sewing by hand. This traditional hemstitch effect is achieved by the “wings” on both sides of the needle's blade, which gently push the threads in the woven fabric to the side. The sewing thread supports this effect because it prevents the threads in the woven fabric from returning to their original position.
