Schmetz Hemstitch 100/16 sewing machine needles, also known as wing or sword needles, are designed for decorative hemstitching, broderie anglaise and whitework embroidery. The winged shape pushes threads aside to create decorative holes in loosely woven fabrics such as linen, giving a traditional hand-worked effect by machine.
Perfect for decorative openwork effects on suitable loosely woven fabrics. Supplied as one needle. For safe machine set-up, use a zigzag needle plate with an elongated stitch hole and a suitable satin-stitch or zigzag foot. Reduce stitch width where necessary so the needle cannot strike the foot or needle plate.
A great choice for anyone looking for Schmetz sewing machine needles, hemstitch needles or wing needles for broderie anglaise and decorative openwork.
