SCHMETZ Overlock Needle No. 80/12

Special sewing machines, such as overlock and coverlock machines, often require special needle systems, such as the ELx705 SUK CF. These unique needles are tailored to the needs of each model and are not interchangeable with other household or overlock needles.

Like most household needles, the SCHMETZ ELx705 SUK CF overlock needle has a flat shank to facilitate positioning in the sewing machine.

The main feature of the ELx705 SUK CF overlock needle that differentiates it from other household needles is the second thread groove. It assists in forming chain stitches, such as overlock or coverlock stitches, and ensures that only low thread tension is required to form the stitch.

Like the jersey needle, the ELx705 SUK CF has a medium ball point, making it perfect for knitted fabrics such as jersey or sweatshirt fabric.

For household overlock or coverlock machines whose operating instructions specify the use of the ELx705, ELx705 CF, ELx705 CR or SY 2022 needle system.
