DBx1 SES, 16x231 SES — SCHMETZ industrial sewing machine needles for knitwear and sportswear, 10 pcs.

DBx1 SES, 16x231 SES are SCHMETZ industrial sewing machine needles for sewing knits, jersey, and sportswear. The slightly rounded ball point of the SES gently pushes knit loops aside and helps reduce the risk of damaging the material threads.

SES needle point features

SES (Light Ball Point) is a slightly rounded ball point. When piercing fabric, it helps move the threads and knit loops aside, allowing the needle to pass between them.

SES is less rounded than SUK and is particularly suitable for fine or medium-weight knits. Choosing the right point type helps reduce material damage and produce a neat seam.

Suitable materials and applications

• Fine and medium-weight knits.
• Jersey fabrics.
• Knitted sportswear.
• Lightweight denim.
• Lightweight, densely woven fabrics.
• Medium-weight woven textiles suitable for the SES point type.
• Textile laminates with multiple fabric layers.

Compatibility and needle selection

Designed for industrial sewing machines that use the DBx1 or 16x231 needle system. Before purchasing, check the needle system and required NM size.

Recommendation: For heavier knits and medium- or heavyweight denim, compare SES with SUK. If skipped stitches occur during sewing or greater needle stability is required, the SES SERV 7 construction may be suitable.
