Schmetz Ball point Needles

Stitch Stretch with Ease Using Ball Point Needles

Ball point needles are essential tools for sewing on knit, jersey, and stretch fabrics. Unlike sharp needles that can pierce or damage delicate fibers, these needles feature a rounded tip that slides between the threads rather than cutting through them. This prevents runs, snags, and skipped stitches—ensuring smooth, flexible seams that move naturally with your fabric.

Whether you’re hemming a t-shirt, sewing leggings, or working with athleticwear or baby knits, ball point needles help you achieve professional-quality results with less frustration.

Designed for Stretch and Performance

Made to handle the unique structure of knit fabrics, ball point needles reduce the risk of broken threads and preserve the elasticity of the material. They’re compatible with most home sewing machines and come in various sizes to suit different weights of knits—from lightweight jerseys to heavier interlocks.

Use a finer size (e.g., 70/10 or 75/11) for thin knits and a larger size (e.g., 90/14) for thick or double-knit fabrics. The right size ensures clean penetration, strong stitches, and smooth operation—so your seams stretch as intended without popping.

A Must-Have for Knitwear and Apparel

these are ideal for a wide range of garment sewing, including tops, dresses, sleepwear, children’s clothes, and casual loungewear. They also work well with stretch thread or stretch stitches, helping maintain comfort and durability in activewear or form-fitting designs.

Stocking a variety of sizes ensures you’re always ready to tackle any knit project with confidence.
