Needle for replacing missing stitches, or needle for metallic embroidery threads. Also called TOPSTITCH needles. Topstitch and metallic needles are identical. They have a very long eye in relation to the needle size. The length of the eye is longer than in the Universal needle system 130/705 H and remains a 2mm constant in all sizes.

Spring needle for embroidery without presser foot.  It is used for embroidering in a frame without a presser foot. This enables freehand sewing of customized patterns on a household sewing machine. The spring assumes the function of the presser foot, i.e. the material is pressed down and thus the problem of “arching up” is avoided.
