{"product_id":"agulha-schmetz-ponto-ajour-nº100-16","title":"SCHMETZ Ajour Stitch Needle No. 100\/16","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe hemstitch needle, also known as a wing needle, is used for decorative stitches, eyelet embroidery, and white embroidery on open-weave fabrics like linen. When sewing, holes are created in the seam, which serve as a decorative element. Hemstitches can therefore be easily made by machine, even without the need to remove threads from the fabric beforehand, as is done in hand sewing. This traditional hemstitch effect is achieved by the \"wings\" on both sides of the needle blade, which gently push the fabric threads aside. The sewing thread assists in this effect by preventing the fabric threads from returning to their original position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hemstitch needle is threaded like any other needle. Note that the automatic needle threader does not work with the hemstitch needle. The large holes in the seam are more visible when the thread color matches the fabric. When using a contrasting color, the sewing thread becomes the focus, not the holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways use the hemstitch needle with a zigzag needle plate with an elongated hole. Use a satin stitch or zigzag presser foot. If available, use the hemstitch or twin needle button. Otherwise, reduce the stitch width so that the needle does not hit the presser foot or needle plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo prevent puckering in seams of soft and lightweight fabrics, use spray starch or a temporary stabilizer (such as removable non-woven interfacing, water-soluble or heat-soluble embroidery stabilizer) to stabilize the fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the best results with clearly visible holes, use a utility or decorative stitch where the needle pierces the same hole multiple times. Often, these stitches are already marked as bold hemstitch stitches in the machine instructions or can be found in the machine's special stitch menu. Experiment and see which stitches you prefer. Test on a scrap piece of fabric to determine the appropriate thread tension, as well as the stitch length and width.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SCHMETZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53402292289876,"sku":"130HW 100","price":2.15,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/2547\/3620\/files\/Schmetz_shop_20SB_hemstitch_1x100_1er.webp?v=1770638053","url":"https:\/\/maquinascostura.pt\/en\/products\/agulha-schmetz-ponto-ajour-n%c2%ba100-16","provider":"FORTES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
