The needle of system UY 121 GUS has a medium ball point for working knit fabrics, without damaging the loops. It is used in industrial overlock, coverstitch and safety-stitch machines for elastic knit fabrics. Suitable machine classes are found, among others, at Textima (classes 8417, 8431, 8432, 8433), Union Special (classes 34700, 34800, 34700 OTHER CLASS, 34800 ALL CLASSES) and SL (classes 8431 to 8434, 8431 TO 8434).
In size NM:80/SIZE:12, this version is especially well suited to medium-weight knit fabrics for everyday garment production. A sewing thread in the range Nm 80/2 to Nm 50/2 is usually suitable, e.g. from Amann Serafil or Rasant; for very stretchy seams, a texturised thread also works well. The ball point glides between the loops instead of piercing them, keeping the seam clean and undamaged.
