Adhesive needles for industrial sewing machines SCHMETZ DBx1 SKF – for very coarse knitwear (10 pcs.)

Application

• Stretch knit materials with coated elastomer threads (e.g., elastane/Lycra with coating)
• Coarse and thick knits, sweaters, rib knits
• Sports and activewear parts where the material has large loops or elastic fibers

Why SKF?

• Highly rounded tip safely pushes aside loops and threads without tearing or piercing fibers – ideal where other needles "catch" or cause holes.
• Stable stitch quality in elastic fabrics – fewer missed stitches.
• Chrome coating = high wear resistance, better heat retention, and smooth sliding at higher speeds.

Most suitable materials (examples)

• Knitwear with elastane-coated fibers
• Thicker knits, sweaters, rib knits
• Coated elastic materials (e.g., bands, cuffs, sports parts with elastic fibers)

Technical parameters

• Length to eye: 33.9 mm
• Shank diameter: 1.62 mm
• Shank: round, without flattening
• Number of grooves: 1
