Also known as a sword or wing needle, the Schmetz Hemstitch Needle is perfect for decorative stitching, broderie anglaise, and whitework embroidery on loosely woven fabrics such as linen. Its unique design creates small holes in the seam while sewing, adding a decorative effect without the need to remove threads by hand.
 
For best results, use the Hemstitch Needle with a zigzag needle plate featuring an elongated stitch hole, and a satin stitch or zigzag foot. If your machine has a hemstitch or twin needle button, use it; otherwise, reduce the stitch width to avoid the needle striking the sewing foot or needle plate.
Ideal for creating professional-looking decorative seams and embroidery with ease.
