LIGHT BALL POINT "SES"

Schmetz DBx1 / 16x231 SES Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Light Ball Point – Pack of 10

Precision-made by Schmetz, these DBx1 / 16x231 SES industrial sewing machine needles feature a light ball point (SES) that gently displaces fabric threads during stitching. This prevents snags, skipped stitches, and fabric damage—making them ideal for fine to medium knitwear, light denim, laminated textiles, and woven fabrics.

Perfectly suited for high-speed industrial lockstitch machines, these needles provide smooth fabric penetration, reduced friction, and consistent stitch quality across various lightweight materials.
