MEDIUM BALL POINT "SUK"

Schmetz DBxK5 SUK Embroidery Needles – Medium Ball Point (SUK)
Chrome Coated

The Schmetz DBxK5 SUK is a high-performance embroidery needle designed for use in industrial multihead or single-head embroidery machines. Featuring a SUK (medium ball point), this needle gently pushes aside fabric threads rather than piercing them—ideal for coarse knitwear, denim, and corsetry.

Its chrome-plated surface reduces friction and enhances stitch quality during high-speed operations, helping reduce thread breakage and skipped stitches on tough or textured materials.
