needle types
We distribute Schmetz across Honduras, Central America and the Caribbean, with genuine spare parts and in-house technical service. These are its needle families; to find out which one suits you and which models we have available, tell us the operation you need to solve.
Round points
Schmetz's seven round points for knitwear and woven fabrics: from the normal «R» to the ball points, which push the yarn aside instead of cutting it.
7 models
Cutting points
The ten cutting points for leather and similar materials. The cutting angle decides how the stitch sits in the seam, and that is why one is chosen over another.
10 models
Special geometry
Specially shaped needles for what an ordinary needle cannot solve: elastic material, thick thread, very fine knitwear or multidirectional sewing.
4 models
Special coating
Schmetz's two coatings for abrasive or man-made materials and those with a low melting point, where ordinary chrome is not enough.
2 models
Vehicle seats
What goes wrong when sewing a seat cover — skipped stitches, thermal damage, damage to the material — and which needle the manufacturer uses to solve it.
3 models
Schiffli embroidery
The needle systems of Schiffli embroidery — Plauen, Saurer and Lässer — their points, the colour coding and what to do when the embroidery goes wrong.
