The needle of system D-5 has a normal round point for working woven and knit fabrics. It is used in industrial chainstitch and general-purpose sewing machines, here mainly for technical applications such as the packaging industry rather than classic garment production. Suitable machine classes are found, among others, at Dave Fischbein Co. (classes D, DB, DH, DR), Fischbein (classes D, DB, DH, DR) and Consew (classes 10, 10 ALL CLASSES).
In size NM:200/SIZE:25, this version is especially well suited to firm, dense materials in the packaging industry. A sewing thread in the range Nm 20/2 and heavier is usually suitable, e.g. from Amann Serafil (polyester) or Rasant (polyester/cotton); for heavy-duty use, a bonded nylon thread.
Package contents: pack B10 with 10 needles
