The needle of system 133 has a small ball point for working knit fabrics, without damaging the stitches. It is used in industrial overlock, coverstitch and safety-stitch machines for elastic knit fabrics. Suitable machine classes are found, among others, at Maquinas de Coser Alfa (classes 105, 125, 127, 136), Pfaff (classes 112, 114 bis 3MM ZIGZAG, 130, 133) and Textima (classes 8333).
At strength NM:90/SIZE:14, 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.
