Singer Stretch Needle

Description

The Singer Stretch Needle, Style 2045, is a specialized sewing machine needle designed for working with stretchy, elastic, and knitted fabrics. Its slightly rounded ballpoint tip is designed to pass between the fabric yarns rather than cutting through them, helping reduce damage to the fabric and minimise skipped stitches during sewing.

It is particularly suitable for fabrics such as spandex, lycra, swimwear materials, jersey, and other elastic knits. These fabrics can be challenging to sew with a regular sharp-point needle because of their stretch and knitted structure, making the appropriate needle important for achieving smooth and consistent stitching.

The needle is available in different sizes to suit various fabric weights, including commonly used sizes such as 75/11, 80/12, and 90/14. Choosing the appropriate size based on the fabric helps support better stitch formation and sewing performance.

The Singer Stretch Needle Style 2045 fits Singer and other compatible domestic sewing machines that use a standard flat-shank needle system. It is a useful needle choice for sewing stretch garments, activewear, swimwear, lingerie, jersey clothing, and other projects made from elastic or knitted fabrics.
