SCHMETZ DPx5 SF, 134 SF Industrial Sewing Machine Needles for Extra-Fine Knits, 10 pcs.

DPx5 SF, 135x5 SF are SCHMETZ industrial sewing machine needles designed for extra-fine knits. The special, extra-slim SF needle design helps penetrate very fine knits gently, reducing the risk of visible stitch holes, thread damage, and material distortion.

SF needle features

SF (Extra Slim Needle) is a needle with an extra-slim working part, a fine eye area, and a rounded point. Its reduced cross-section allows it to penetrate delicate knits with less force than a standard needle.

Compared with the KN needle, the SF design is even slimmer. It is intended for materials that require especially gentle handling.

Suitable materials

• Extra-fine knits.
• Very fine knits, such as 40–42 gauge.
• Delicate, lightweight knits where reducing stitch hole size is important.
• Fine knit garments that require precise seam quality.

Compatibility and needle selection
