Schmetz Ballpoint Needles Size 80/12

Ballpoint (jersey) needles have a rounded tip that pushes between knit loops instead of piercing them, so the fabric does not ladder or develop holes along the seam.

Schmetz Ballpoint needles, size 80/12 — medium weight, the everyday size for quilting cotton and shirting.

Use for: Jersey, interlock, rib, fleece, most knits.

If a seam on a knit shows tiny holes, switch to ballpoint before adjusting anything else.
