The needle of system UY 128 GAS 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 Kingtex (classes CT, CTL, CTS, FT), Yamato (classes ACW, AFH, AHV, ARW) and Union Special (classes HF, LF, XF, 11500 G).
At strength NM:120/SIZE:19, this version is especially well suited to medium-weight knit fabrics for everyday garment production. A sewing thread in the range Nm 50/2 to Nm 40/2 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.
