Schmetz #1772 - Hemstitch Wing Needle, size 100/16

Wing needles are essential in heirloom sewing. Many sewing enthusiasts enjoy using wing needles for adding extra pizzazz to their clothes and home decor. The wing of the needle pierces into the fabric, creating a small hole which opens up as the needle moves along the fabric. These openings create an heirloomed effect, and on linens they look almost like small eyelets. Try a wing in a honeycomb or zigzag stitch instead of a regular topstitch when you make some linen placemats or on the edges of a linen or silk blouse. Beautiful! Schmetz #1772 - Hemstitch Wing Needle, size 100/16. Priced per package of 1 needle.
