5 assorted ball point needles by Klasse, the German needle specialists. Ball point needles are specially for sewing with knit fabrics, jersey and interlocks. The rounded tip separates the fibres of the fabric to prevent laddering, snagging or running.

The pack contains 2 needles of size 70, 2 needles of size 80, and 1 needle of size 90.

Suits all modern sewing machines including Bernina, Bernette, Brother, Elna, Husqvarna, Janome, New Home, Pfaff, Simplicity, Singer, Toyota and Viking etc.

"What is the difference between ballpoint and stretch needles?" Ballpoint needles are designed for use with knits, as they have rounded tips that slip in between fibres rather than piercing them. Stretch needles are for things like swimwear and lycra fabrics, or if you are sewing elastic directly on to fabric.
