The Schmetz 16X231 SUK Size 70 industrial sewing needles are equipped with a medium ball point (SUK), which is rounder than the SES (light ball point). This needle design gently displaces fabric threads, avoiding fibre breakage and helping to prevent skipped stitches when working with knitted and stretch materials.

These high-quality needles feature a chrome coating for enhanced durability and reduced heat build-up, ensuring smooth fabric penetration and reliable performance in industrial lockstitch machines.
