SCHMETZ DBx1 SF SUK needles are specifically designed for sewing very fine knits with industrial lockstitch sewing machines. With a very slim needle point and an extra smooth eye area, these needles provide gentle penetration without damaging the material. SF geometry reduces penetration force, while the SUK type (medium round) point gently separates yarns, preserving the fabric structure.
