Schmetz 130/705 H-E ZWI Embroidery Twin Needles have an enlarged eye and groove, making this a perfect needle for trouble-free decorative sewing of dual rows with more fragile embroidery threads. These needles are great with rayon and other specialty machine embroidery threads, including polyesters. The gorgeous sheen of these threads results in outstanding embroidery work. The special scarf, long smooth groove, and large eye of this needle protect those more fragile threads and guard against excess friction. Please Note: In order to use a Twin Needle, your machine must have a front or top loading bobbin, a zig-zag stitch, AND the flat side of the needle shank facing the back of your machine.
Most Schmetz Needles include two color-coded bands just below the shank. The top color indicates the type of needle, and the lower color indicates the size. The Schmetz Embroidery Twin Needles do not have a color code. Schmetz 130/705 H-E ZWI Embroidery Twin Needles come as one needle per pack in a plastic case that slides shut for safe storage. The needle system, needle type, and needle size are printed on the front of the case.
