Overlock needles. These unique needles are adapted to the requirements of special sewing machines like overlock and coverlock and are not interchangeable with other needles.

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

The key feature of the ELx705 CF Overlock 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.

ELx705 CF needle has a slightly rounded point, making it universally applicable and suitable for handling a wide variety of materials.

The ELx705 CF Overlock Needle also has a special blade design. This prevents needle deflection, which helps to stop the needle from breaking even at the high working speeds of overlock machines. What's more, it helps to form extra straight stitches. The CF in the needle designation stands for Chrome Finish. This means that the needles are coated with chrome. This coating ensures that the needles can withstand the higher sewing speeds of overlock and coverlock machines for a long time.

Overlock Needles ELx705 CF are marked with a black color marking to distinguish them from other needles. The second color marking lower down the needle indicates the needle size.
