Viking Needles ELX705 100 Box Size 12 #920723096


Product Description

  • serger / overlock / cover-stitch machines.

  • ELX705 needle system, a standard system for many home and multi-purpose sergers.

  • reinforced blade, designed to improve strength and durability — which helps reduce needle breakage and improves stitch consistency during high-speed sewing.

  • slightly rounded / regular point, which supports smooth fabric penetration without snags, making them suitable for a range of fabric types used in overlocking or cover-stitch operations.

  • Size 12 (often marked as 80/12 in metric sizing).


 Compatibility and Intended Use

  • fit Viking serger machines (and other brands/models that utilize the ELX705 needle system).

  • overlock stitching, cover-stitching, seam finishing, and serging of woven or knit fabrics.

  • Not suitable for standard home sewing machines that use the 130/705H (HAx1) needle system — because ELX705 is a different system meant for sergers/overlockers.

  • medium-weight fabrics (e.g. typical woven cottons, blends, knits) that are commonly processed with sergers or cover-stitch machines.

Key Considerations & Recommendations

  • ELX705 system — using the wrong needle type/system can lead to misfit, skipped stitches, or damage.

  • medium-weight fabrics; if you work with heavier fabrics, a larger needle size or different system may be required.

  • For optimal stitch quality and to minimize fabric damage or skipped stitches, replace needles regularly — especially if you shift to different fabrics or do heavy serging work.
