Uses
The round point slips between the elastic fibres instead of piercing them, so no ladders or holes appear and you get fewer skipped stitches. At this low size you make tiny entry points in fine swimwear fabric, lingerie tricot or thin legging fabric; pair it with fine thread. If your stretch fabric gets a little heavier, such as firm sports leggings, the Stretch 75-11 is more suitable. For other uses, look further in our sewing machine needles.
