IMPORTANT – CHECK YOUR MACHINE'S NEEDLE SYSTEM BEFORE ORDERING

These SCHMETZ BLx1 Serger / Overlock Needles are designed specifically for machines that require the BLx1 needle system. BLx1 is not a universal serger needle system, and these needles are therefore not compatible with every serger or overlock machine.

Before purchasing, check your machine's instruction manual or the markings on your existing needles to confirm that your machine requires BLx1 needles.

Do not substitute BLx1 needles for another needle system unless your machine manufacturer specifically lists BLx1 as compatible. In particular, BLx1 and DCx1 needles are not interchangeable.

Designed for Serger & Overlock Machines

SCHMETZ BLx1 needles feature a reinforced blade and sharp point designed for serging a variety of woven and knit fabrics. The specialized construction is made to withstand the high-speed stitching and demanding stitch formation of compatible serger, overlock, cover and safety-stitch machines.

The BLx1 system features a round shank measuring approximately 1.63 mm in diameter and a length of approximately 33 mm from the butt to the eye.

Assorted Sizes for Different Fabrics

Each package contains 5 needles in two useful sizes:

• 2 × Size 75/11: A finer needle suitable for lightweight to medium-weight fabrics.
• 3 × Size 90/14: A stronger needle suitable for medium-weight and heavier fabrics.

Is BLx1 Compatible With My Serger?

Compatibility depends on the specific machine model, not simply the machine brand. Different sergers from the same manufacturer may require completely different needle systems.

BLx1 has historically been specified for certain models from brands including Baby Lock, Bernette, Elna, Janome/New Home, Juki, Necchi, Pfaff, Riccar, Simplicity and Singer, among others. This does not mean that all sergers from these brands use BLx1 needles.

Always verify that “BLx1” is listed in your machine's owner's manual before purchasing.

Please Note

Many modern sergers use other needle systems such as 130/705 H or ELx705. These BLx1 needles should only be used when BLx1 is specifically recommended for your machine.
