The Schmetz Chrome Universal Needle is a versatile, high-performance option ideal for both knit and woven fabrics. Engineered with a chrome-plated finish, this needle resists heat and wear, stays cooler during high-speed stitching, and penetrates fabric with reduced resistance. The result: less stitch distortion, smoother thread flow, and longer-lasting performance.
Featuring a slightly rounded point and a regular eye, this needle is designed to handle a wide range of general sewing tasks. Whether you’re piecing, hemming, or garment sewing, the Chrome Universal Needle delivers clean, consistent stitches with less friction and fabric stress.
