SPECIAL BALL POINT "SKL"

Schmetz B-27 / DCx27 SKL Industrial Overlock Sewing Machine Needles – Special Ball Point (SKL)

The Schmetz B-27 SKL, also known as DCx27, MY1023, UY191 GS, or RIM 27 SKL, features the SKL (Special Ball Point) tip – a very wide and highly rounded point. This special shape offers maximum thread displacement, making it ideal for elastic, stretch, and coarse-knit fabrics where fabric integrity and elasticity must be preserved.

These needles are precision-crafted for industrial overlock machines, delivering optimal stitch formation and reduced thread breakage in elastic-rich fabrics.
