Our take on the Schmetz Microtex Needles 80/12

Schmetz Microtex needles are sharp-point needles built for fine, tightly woven fabrics. The size 80/12 blade is thin with an acute point, so it pierces silk, microfiber, batiste and fine detail work cleanly instead of pushing threads aside. Chrome plating helps the needle resist heat and wear, which keeps stitches from distorting on delicate seams. They fit any home sewing machine, and owners rate them as reliable, consistent needles for fine work.
