The Schmetz 16X231 SERV 7 Size 80 industrial sewing needles are designed to prevent skipped stitches and fabric damage, especially when working with elastic or stretch fabrics. Featuring a reinforced blade for extra stability and a hump scarf that creates a larger thread loop for reliable hook catching, these needles ensure consistent stitch quality and long-lasting performance.

Thanks to the unique SERV 7 design, users can often sew with a smaller needle size without sacrificing stability, producing smaller stitch holes and cleaner seams. These needles are especially stable, less likely to bend, and provide excellent protection for both fabric and machine parts.
