Uses
Think of firm sports fabrics, thick leggings or the edging of a swimsuit where several layers of elastic fabric meet. A thicker stretch needle is sturdier and leaves room for thicker thread, while the round point helps prevent damage and skipped stitches. Test on a scrap first to set the tension correctly. If the fabric is softer and thinner, go back to the 75-11. If you mainly work with knitted cotton such as T-shirt fabric, consider the Jersey 90-14. The complete range is in our sewing machine needles.
