When to choose it

Consider this 130 N pack if the material and thread call for 100/16. Compare it through the actual folds and seam layers rather than testing only a flat swatch of the same fabric.

The enlarged eye gives you a thread-path feature to compare when topstitching. If your thread and seam call for 90/14, choose the smaller Topstitch card and compare with the same thread first.

Questions about this product

Does the listing’s 16/100 wording identify another size?

The pictured pack shows 100/16. The two numbers describe the same nominal size in two scales.

What if I only need a smaller topstitch size?

Compare the 90/14 or 80/12 pack in the same 130 N family.

Is it meant for a metallic thread specifically?

Check the thread maker’s guidance. SCHMETZ has a separate Metallic family with a different designation.
