GROZ BECKERT DBX1/1738/16X257 FG SIZE 60/8 INDUSTRIAL SEWING MACHINE NEEDLES

The Groz Beckert 16X231 NM 60 / Size 8 FG/SUK needles are engineered with a medium ball point (SUK), making them ideal for sewing loose-knit, elastic fabrics, or textiles containing elastane and rubber. The medium ball point gently displaces fibres instead of piercing them, preserving fabric integrity and preventing skipped stitches or damage.

Built for double lock stitch applications and compatible with a wide range of industrial sewing machines, these needles feature a chromium-coated finish, a single groove, and scarfed design for consistent stitch quality. A go-to choice for soft, stretch-prone fabrics.
