REMARKS: The flattening angle of this needle is larger, which makes the rotating hook come closer to the scarf of the needle. In this way the hook can catch the loop securely even if the loop formation is unstable. The cliff-scarf supports the formation of larger loops and the upward movement of the upper thread. It aslo prevents skipped stitches. The slim tapered shape from the needle eye to the needle tip makes needle holes become smaller and the appearance of cotton fibers inside the material is reduced. The slim shape also reduces the penetration resistane when sewing the thick quilts.
