LIGHT BALL POINT "SES"

Schmetz 2018 SES / 175X3 SES / TQX3 SES Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Light Ball Point 

The Schmetz SES (Light Ball Point) industrial sewing needles are precision-designed for button sewing on delicate to medium-weight knitwear and woven fabrics. These needles are perfect for avoiding fabric damage while ensuring secure and consistent stitching.

The light ball point gently displaces fabric threads rather than piercing them, preventing runs and snags in fine knit or elastic materials. Ideal for use with stretch fabrics, jersey, light denim, laminated textiles, and soft woven blends.

These needles are compatible with needle systems 2018, 175X3, and TQX3, and identified by CANU 44:15EB1—trusted by industrial garment manufacturers for their performance and reliability.
