SCHMETZ Microtex Sharp Sewing Machine Needles, Size 70/10 — Pack of 10, Ultra-Fine Tips for Quilting & Topstitching

The SCHMETZ Microtex Sharp sewing machine needles size 70/10 are ultra-fine, precision tips designed to produce clean, accurate stitches on delicate and tightly woven fabrics.

Whether you quilt, topstitch, or work with silks and synthetics, these Microtex needles give you the control and consistency required for crisp seams and professional-looking finishes. Engineered for home sewing machines, each needle combines a slim acute point with durable construction so you can handle fine threads and detailed work without skipped stitches or fabric damage.

How do these needles improve stitching on delicate fabrics?

The thin, sharply ground point of the Microtex 70/10 pierces tightly woven or lightweight fabrics cleanly, minimizing fibre displacement and preventing puckering. That accuracy results in straighter stitch lines and neater seam edges, especially when using fine threads or performing topstitching close to seams.

• Ultra-thin tip reduces fabric distortion on silks and microfibers
• Sharp point prevents skipped stitches with fine thread
• Size 70/10 balances strength and subtlety for delicate work

Can I use these with my home sewing machine and which materials suit them best?

SCHMETZ Microtex needles are compatible with virtually all home sewing machines and are especially effective on materials that need a precise entry point. Use them on silk, polyester, rayon, foils, artificial leather, coated fabrics, cotton quilting fabrics, and other tightly woven textiles for consistent results.

• Safe for most domestic sewing machines—no modification needed
• Recommended for microfibers, synthetics, batiks, and woven fabrics
• Works well for both quilting and topstitching applications

What size and pack options are included, and why choose size 70/10?

This product comes as a pack of ten needles in size 70/10—small enough for precision tasks while still providing the durability needed for multiple projects. Size 70/10 is a go-to for lightweight and medium-light fabrics where a finer needle tip yields cleaner results without creating oversized holes.

• Pack contains 10 needles for ongoing projects or backups
• Size 70/10 ideal for lightweight and tightly woven materials
• High tip sharpness improves stitch consistency for delicate seams

How should I choose and maintain Microtex needles to get the best performance?

Select the needle size based on fabric weight and thread thickness; finer fabrics and threads pair best with size 70/10. Replace needles regularly—after a few projects or when you notice skipped stitches or fraying—to maintain stitch quality and avoid fabric damage.

• Match needle size to fabric and thread—70/10 for lightweight fabrics
• Replace needles at the first sign of wear or after several hours of sewing
• Use quality threads to complement the needle’s precision and reduce lint buildup
