Uses
A slim shaft makes small holes, so delicate fabrics stay intact and your stitching is barely visible. Pair this size with fine thread for blouses, scarves, linings, lingerie and decorative details where precision matters. Thin knits work too, because universal needles suit both woven and knitted fabrics. Is your fabric a little firmer, such as poplin or a light cotton dress fabric? Then choose the Universal 70-10. Every other type, from jersey to jeans, is in our sewing machine needles.
Keep this fine set of five ready for your next silk project and order it online from Bladi today.
