SPECIAL BALL POINT "SKL"

Schmetz 134 SKL Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – SKL Point – For Lycra, Elastic & Coarse Knitwear

The Schmetz 134 SKL needle is specially developed for demanding stretch materials. Featuring the SKL point, this needle is ideal for sewing Lycra, coarse elastic knitwear, and medium to coarse fabrics with elastomeric threads.
