The needle of system DMX5 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 processing of textile floor coverings rather than classic garment production. Suitable machine classes are found, among others, at Inderle (classes IDL, IDL - 304, IDL - 308, IDL - 309), Mauser (classes DCM, DCM - 207) and Pegasus (classes DCM, DCM - 207).
The available needle sizes are used, among others, for very heavy, multi-layer materials such as webbing, tarpaulins and upholstery composites. As sewing thread, a matching thickness is usually recommended depending on the needle size chosen, e.g. from Amann Serafil (polyester) or Rasant (polyester/cotton); for heavy-duty use, a bonded nylon thread.
