Color-coded for quick recognition and built for durability, they’re the go-to choice for millennial makers who demand precision and reliability in every stitch. ## Description Product Description Microtex Needle Special Features The pointed, slim tip allows accurate stitches in very fine or tightly woven materials. With the needle you can be used when quilting edges, such as especially straight stitches for collars or button plackets. Tip: When quilting typically very tightly woven batik fabrics, the Microtex needle achieves particularly precise seams. Pointed tips are more sensitive than rounded tips or ball tips: The needle should therefore be checked more frequently for damage and replaced in time. Suitable fabrics/materials Coated materials such as oilcloth and faux leather Brocade Chiffon Densely woven fabrics Foils, food taffeta Lamé, microfibre fabric sequin fabrics Poplin Silk, taffeta How often should I change my needle? Tip: So you can easily test whether a needle needs to be changed. To determine if a needle needs to be changed, you can move your finger from all sides over the needle tip. (Caution: Please do not poke in your finger). Are there any irregularities? Then the needle is no longer intact and should be changed. If the needle is slightly bent, there is also the risk that it hits the stitch plate and breaks when sewing - in this case it is also recommended to change. We recommend changing the needle after approx. 8 hours sewing time. At first glance, a sewing time of 8 hours seems very short. So why should you change your needle regularly? The needle is a consumable item that is extremely stressed when sewing. Over time, the needle wears out despite high-quality workmanship and special coatings, and the quality of your seam becomes worse. Worn or damaged needles often lead to Frayed sewing threads or thread breakage Misstitches or uneven stitches seam curling damaged textiles Knocking sounds when sewing Review: Great needles! - Excellent quality from a fine company! Review: I'd buy it again - Good needles. Fit my Brother sewing machine, and all the other machines in class. ## Features - CONTENT: 5 Sewing Machine Needles | Microtex | 130/705 H-M | with flat shank | Size 90/14 | Delivered in a storage box for sewing machine needles - KEY FEATURES: Acute, slim needle point for accurate stitching. | Particularly suitable for straight stitches when quilting - SUITABLE FABRICS/MATERIALS: Very fine or tightly woven materials such as silk, microfibre fabric, lamé, taffeta lining or coated materials such as films, oilcloth and synthetic leather - UTILISATION: Can be used on all conventional household sewing machines (e.g. Bernina, Pfaff, Elna, Brother, Juki, Janome, Singer, W6, etc.) | Long service life thanks to high-quality workmanship - SCHMETZ COLOR MARKING: Needle can also be clearly recognized without packaging. | Upper color marking for Microtex Needles = Purple | Lower color marking = Blue for Size 90/14 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0021AWU5U | | Best Sellers Rank | 10,103 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 6 in Machine Needles | | Brand | SCHMETZ | | Brand Name | SCHMETZ | | Compatible Devices | 130/705 H-M | | Compatible Material | Fabric | | Compatible devices | 130/705 H-M | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,505 Reviews | | Included Components | 1 x Schmetz Microtex 5 needles, 90-14 size | | Item Length | 3.9 Centimetres | | Item Type Name | Needle. | | Item Weight | 0.01 Kilograms | | Item length | 3.9 Centimetres | | Manufacturer | Schmetz | | Manufacturer Part Number | 22:31MA2190SB5 | | Model Number | 130-705M-90 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Point Type | 90/14 | | Point type | 90/14 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Unit count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Schmetz - **Compatible devices:** 130/705 H-M - **Item length:** 9.7 Centimetres - **Point type:** 90/14 - **Unit count:** 1.0 count ## Images ![Microtex - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61lboc6ebaL.jpg) ![Microtex - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41riGZ49iKL.jpg) ![Microtex - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61yWOiZ9WdL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Team** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great needles! *by S***. on 2 May 2026* Excellent quality from a fine company! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'd buy it again *by M***N on 14 April 2026* Good needles.
