The Schmetz 16X231 SES Size 80 industrial sewing needles are designed with a light ball point (SES) tip that moves woven and knitted threads aside instead of cutting them. This prevents fabric damage, reduces skipped stitches, and ensures durable seams in medium-weight fabrics.

Enhanced with a chrome coating, these needles resist wear, minimise friction, and maintain consistent stitch quality in industrial lockstitch machines.
