Schmetz Sewing Machine Needles Easy Thread 90/14 - 705/HDK

Schmetz Easy Threading / Quick Threading Needles Size 90/14.  These needles have a groove at the side of the eye to avoid having to thread through the eye, making threading easy.  The size you require is basically dependant on the weight / material thickness and that of the thread you are working with. As a guide size 90s are the favourite and tend to work well with all mid-weight and general fabrics.  For ease of identification Schmetz stamp the needle size on the shank of every needle they manufacture.
