Our read
Written from the manufacturer's listing, the published specs and public owner feedback. We research and analyse — we don't lab-test, and we don't claim to have stitched with this ourselves. Reviewed by the SewingPath team · Hilly Shore Labs · updated October 8, 2026.
Hemming jeans and sewing denim or canvas. SCHMETZ gives its jeans needle a medium ball point on a reinforced blade, and 100/16 is the size for rigid denim and the thick layers at a jeans hem.
Skip it if you sew ordinary cottons, where a universal needle is the right tool, or if you only need a few. This listing is five cards of five needles in one size.
