When to choose it
Choose this model if guiding the thread into a standard eye is difficult. The slot at the side of the eye gives you another way to thread the needle. Test slowly on a scrap with the thread you intend to use.
SCHMETZ advises against using the slot design on sensitive fabrics, batting and denim. If the project calls for any of those materials, choose a closed-eye needle intended for the work.

Questions about this product
Is the slot a manufacturing defect?
It is the threading feature of the 705 HDK model.
Can I choose it for quilting over batting?
SCHMETZ advises using another needle because the slot can pull batting fibers.
Should I run it at full speed on the first sample?
Start slowly. The maker advises reducing speed to help keep the thread seated in the eye.
