Industrial Overlock Needles SCHMETZ DCx27 (B-27) SKF for Very Coarse Knitwear - 10 pcs

SCHMETZ DCx27 SKF, also known as B-27 SKF, are specialized industrial overlock and chainstitch machine needles designed for coarse knit fabrics and stretchy materials. Their main advantage is the SKF (Heavy Ball Point), a distinctly rounded ball point that helps gently handle knitting threads.

Unlike standard needles, the SKF point does not sharply pierce the fabric threads, but instead carefully pushes them aside. This feature is especially important for knit fabrics and stretchy materials, as it helps reduce the risk of fabric damage, skipped stitches, and thread breakage.

🧵 Most suitable materials

• Coarse knit fabric
• Stretch knit fabrics
• Fine stretchy materials with covered elastomer threads
• Fabrics with elastane
• Lycra and other stretchy synthetic materials
• Sportswear materials
• Materials with a more pronounced loop or knit structure
• Knit fabrics where reducing the risk of thread damage is important
