DCx27 SF, B-27 SF — SCHMETZ industrial overlock needles for extra-fine knitwear, 10 pcs.

DCx27 SF, B-27 SF are SCHMETZ industrial overlock needles for extra-fine knits. The special, very slim SF design helps reduce the force required to penetrate the material, the risk of thread damage, and the risk of visible stitch holes.

SF needle features

SF (Extra Slim Needle) is a needle with a special geometry and a very slim point and eye area. It is designed for gentle processing of delicate and extra-fine knits.

The SF design has a slim cylindrical working section, a particularly reduced cross-section in the eye area, and a rounded point. Compared with a standard needle, it reduces the force required to penetrate the material and helps create smaller stitch holes.

Suitable materials

• Extra-fine knits.
• Very fine knits, such as 40–42 gauge.
• Thin and delicate knitted fabrics.
• Materials for which reducing thread damage and stitch hole size is important.

Compatibility with industrial overlock machines

Recommendation: For extra-fine knits, compare the SF needle with the KN needle. The SF has an especially slim eye and point area, making it suitable when particularly gentle penetration is required.
