Key features of the Microtex Needle:
The slim acute point allows for accurate stitching in very fine or densely woven materials.
The needle can be used to top stitch edges, for example for creating particularly straight stitches on collars or button tape.
Tip: When quilting batik fabrics that are typically very densely woven, the Microtex Needle can achieve particularly precise seams.
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.
