When to choose it

Try this size when your project uses a metallic thread and the machine and thread guidance support 80/12. The elongated eye gives you a specific thread-path feature to compare with the needle used for your regular seams.

Test the thread on the same fabric and layers used in the design. If you are choosing for a heavier topstitch instead, compare the dedicated Topstitch family and the sizes it offers before buying.
