The Schmetz Microtex Needle (also known as a Sharp needle) features a very slim acute point allowing for accurate stitching in very fine or densely woven materials. The special blade shape also helps to prevent needle breakage and skipped stitches. Acute points are more sensitive than rounded or ball points, you should therefore check the needle for damage more frequently and replace it in good time. Schmetz needles are compatible with the following sewing machines, Singer, Viking, Janome, Elna, Necchi, Brother, Baby Lock, Juki, Bernina and Pfaff.
