Once the needle is removed from the packaging, it is often difficult to identify the needle type. Although the needle size is imprinted on the shank, it is very small. SCHMETZ has responded to the needs of the users and has also introduced a color marking on the sewing needles. This means that the needle can be identified clearly even without the packaging.
