SCHMETZ Carded MR Multidirectional Needles

SCHMETZ MR needles are extreme needles specifically designed for multidirectional sewing. These needles have a much deeper scarf to ensure 100% stitch formation when sewing in multi-directions. MR needles are available in four sizes.

SCHMETZ MR Features:

• Extremely long and deep scarf.

• The long groove runs at full depth for the complete length of the needle blade right down to the eye.

• Scarf area with the same needle cross section as the upper blade.

SCHMETZ MR Advantages:

• Wide space in scarf area for the hook to pick up the needle thread loop. Prevents skipped stitches even on critical materials.

• Optimum thread protection and functional guidance due to the deep long groove for the full length of the needle blade. Prevents the thread from untwisting and creates a better seam appearance.

• The needle has increased buckling strength due to the same cross section in the blade and scarf area, which in turn, leads to less needle breakage.

SCHMETZ SERV 7 Multidirectional Needles

SCHMETZ SERV 7 needles are specifically designed for multidirectional sewing (same as SAN type needles). While the scarf is not modified, the rest of the needle is geometrically different from a regular industrial needle. SERV 7 needles have reinforced blades and feature more material on top of the eye for better loop forming. While these are all round shank needles, they are NOT interchangeable. These are the three (3) most popular/common needles used in long arm quilting machines. Available in a 10 needle chip.

SCHMETZ SERV 7 Features:

• The hump scarf (raised collar between the eye and scarf) produces a larger needle thread loop which can easily be picked up by the hook.

• The conical reinforcement of the blade increases needle stability and prevents needle deflection.

SCHMETZ SERV 7 Advantages:

• Effective prevention of skipped stitches.

• Extremely high needle stability prevents needle deflection.

• Less needle breakage.

• Compared to a standard needle, a smaller needle size is possible without loss of stability.

• Precise stitches and neat seam appearance.

• High productivity.

• Reduced wear on machine parts (hook, needle plate, etc.) leading to reduced costs.
