Special sewing machines like overlock and coverlock machines often require special needle systems such as the ELx705 SUK CF. These unique needles are adapted to the requirements of the respective model and are not interchangeable with other household or overlock needles.

Like most household needles, the SCHMETZ ELx705 SUK CF Overlock needle has a flat shank for easy positioning in the sewing machine.

The key feature of the ELx705 SUK CF Overlock needle that distinguishes it from other household needles is the second thread groove. It supports the formation of chain stitches, such as overlock or coverlock stitches, and ensures that only low thread tension is required to form the stitch.

Like the Jersey (Ball Point) needle, the ELx705 SUK CF has a medium ball point, making it perfect for knitted fabrics, such as jersey or sweatshirt fabrics.

Size 65/9 needles are suitable for most fine fabrics.
Size 80/12 needles are suitable for most lightweight fabrics.
Size 90/14 needles are suitable for most medium and heavyweight fabrics.
