Schmetz Overlock / Serger Machine Needle ELX705 Size 14/90

Designed for use in electronic multi-purpose sergers that do the overlock, cover, safety and mock safety stitches. Not suitable for use in normal home sewing machines or embroidery machines. Machines must specify ELX705 system. Size 14/90. 5 needles per pack. Carded.

Here's how ELX705 needles vary from home sewing needles...

• Needles have a groove on the front side and back side of the blades to reduce skipped stitches.
• The second long groove is necessary to create chain stitches like overlock and coverlock stitches.
• They have increased strength due to a reinforced blade leading to less breakage and straighter stiches.
