The Schmetz 16X231 SES Size 60 industrial sewing needles feature a light ball point (SES) tip that displaces fabric threads instead of piercing them. This ensures delicate woven and knitted fabrics remain undamaged, producing smooth seams with high stitch reliability.

Built with a durable chrome coating, these needles reduce friction, extend needle life, and maintain consistent stitch quality even during extended use in industrial lockstitch sewing machines.

Key Features:

• SES Light Ball Point – Protects fabric by moving threads aside rather than cutting through them.

• Fine Size 60 (NM 60 / Size 8) – Perfect for lightweight and delicate materials.
