Schmetz Stretch Needle 5-Pack (Size 90/14)

Schmetz Stretch needles are specially made for highly elastic fabrics and difficult-to-sew stretch materials. This 5-pack of size 90/14 stretch needles has a medium ballpoint and a unique deeper scarf (the indentation above the eye) that work together to prevent skipped stitches when fabric stretches under the needle. They excel on fabrics like Lycra, spandex blends, swimwear fabric, and even on sewing elastic directly onto garments, where a regular needle might miss stitches or cause runs. Using a stretch needle ensures your zigzag or stretch stitches catch the bobbin thread reliably, producing secure, flexible seams that move with the fabric. Whether you're making a dance costume, athletic wear, or a bathing suit, these needles give you confidence that every seam will be strong and uninterrupted. Having five in the pack means you can complete multiple outfits and swap out needles as soon as they show signs of wear to maintain perfect stitching.
