130 N · DBXK5

Even if the greatest care is taken in the production process, there are repeated instances when Schiffli embroidery must be restitched. For example, due to thread breakage during the embroidery process you might face missing stiches and defective Schiffli embroidery appearances.

SCHMETZ 130 N also called Topstitch Needle

The 130 N is usually used in industrially used household machines and has an extra long eye. The eye length of 2 mm stays the same in all needle sizes. The shank is flattened.

The advantages of the SCHMETZ 130 N:

Long eye for an easier threading of embroidery threads · Minimized damages to embroidery threads due to less friction in the eye to reduce the risk of thread breakage · Prevention of thread breakage · Always exactly the same position of the needle in the needle bar thanks to the flat shank

SCHMETZ DBXK5

The SCHMETZ DBXK5 is normally used in special industrial machines for replacing missing stitches. The eye is 2 NM bigger in relation to the needle size, that means, for example, in an NM/SIZE 70/10 needle the eye corresponds to that of a needle size NM/SIZE 90/14. The needle has a hump between the eye and the scarf and a conical blade.

The advantages of the SCHMETZ DBXK5:

Larger eye for reduced friction and minimized damages to the embroidery thread · Minimization of thread breakage · Reduction of skipped stitches through better loop formation · Prevention of needle deflection thanks to conical blade, especially with very densely embroidered patterns · Less needle breakage and thus a longer durability of the needles · Less downtime for the machines · Reduction of damage to machine parts such as the tip of the hook and the throat plate · Very precise border lines of embroidery due to straight penetration
