Groz Beckert 142X5 / DOX5 / 1778 Industrial Sewing Needles – RG Point – For Overlock, Embroidery & Button Sewing

The Groz Beckert 142X5 needle system (also known as DOX5 / 1778 / SY1413) is designed for stitch type class 500 (overlock stitch) and supports a wide range of garment production needs—from chainstitch and embroidery to button sewing.

Featuring an RG point (Normal Round Point with Small Ball), this needle provides a gentle piercing action that’s ideal for knits, woven fabrics, microfiber, and soft leather. The slightly rounded point helps displace fibres instead of cutting them, reducing the chance of fabric damage or skipped stitches.
