MEDIUM BALL POINT "SES" SERV7 REINFORCED

Schmetz SERV 7 – Light Ball Point (SES) Industrial Sewing Machine Needles

Take on stretch and knit fabrics with confidence using Schmetz SERV 7 SES needles. Specially developed for elastic and knitted textiles, these needles feature a light ball point (SES) that slides between fibres instead of piercing them—reducing fabric damage and improving seam integrity.

The SERV 7 innovation includes a reinforced blade (up to 20%) for exceptional needle stability and a hump scarf that creates a larger thread loop, reducing the risk of skipped stitches—a common issue when sewing stretchy materials.
