Schmetz Microtex Sharp Needles 90/14 (5-Pack)

 Purpose

The ultra-slim, acute point is engineered to pierce rather than push fibers apart.

 Key Features

  • Needle Type: Microtex (also called “Sharp” point) — designed for precision work.

  • Size: 90/14 — appropriate for medium-weight to slightly heavier fabrics where precision is still key.

  • Needle System: 130/705 H-M (household flat-shank compatible) — ensures broad machine compatibility.

  • Finish: Chrome or polished finish (depending variant) reduces friction, heat build-up, and extends needle life in high-density fabric sewing.

  • Pack Quantity: 5 needles per card (German-engineered Schmetz quality)

 Compatibility

Ideal for piecing, fine tailoring, and detailed work on the same machines that accept standard needles.

Recommended Applications

  • High-thread-count woven fabrics, microfibres, silks, artificial leather, ultra-fine polyester and couture or fashion fabrics.

  • Precision top-stitching, piecing of fine quilting, edge stitching where a standard universal point may distort fabric.

  • When straight-stitching and stitch quality are paramount (e.g., seams must lie flat and precise).

 Service Center Tip (NSV Exclusive)

  • 6–8 hours of active sewing, or sooner if skipped stitches, fraying thread, or fabric pull appear.

  • Because the point is very fine, slower feed speeds and proper presser pressure will help prevent deflection or burr formation.

  • Test on a scrap of your fabric when switching to Microtex – you’ll notice the difference in stitch appearance.

  • “Microtex 90/14 – Sharp Point” so your staff can easily distinguish from Universal, Jersey, or Denim needles.
