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.
