When to choose it
Choose this card when the fine fabric and thread guidance call for 60/8 and you want to test the Microtex point on a close weave. Inspect the holes and stitch before sewing a visible seam.
Compare the 70/10 Microtex card if your thread or fabric calls for a larger size. Both use the sharp H-M family, so a comparison can focus on size while holding the point design steady.
