Superior 1×4 No. 16 sewing machine needles – 25 pack

Description

A 1×4 No. 16 needle is a flat shank, 16-size needle in the Groz‑Beckert 130/705H (also called HAx1 or 15×1) system. This needle size is 16 in the Groz‑Beckert numbering (which is the same as the 16 in the 130/705H system) and has a 1×4 shank (1×4 means 1 inch long, 4 mm diameter)

• Needle system: Groz‑Beckert 130/705H (HAx1 / 15×1) — a universal household needle system used by many brands
• Size: 16 in Groz‑Beckert terms = medium‑thick needle, suitable for medium‑weight fabrics like cotton, linen, and some woven fabrics
• Shank: Flat shank (HAx1) — the flat side faces the back of the needle clamp.

These are Flat Shank needles.

Because the 130/705H system is universal, many domestic and some vintage sewing machines will accept a 1×4 No. 16 needle. Common examples include:

• Singer models using the 130/705H system (e.g., Singer 130, 130‑series, many 1950s–1980s Singer home machines)
• Bernina, Juki, Pfaff, Consew, Husqvarna‑Viking, Saurer, Seiko, and other brands that use the 130/705H system
• Many older Singer machines that were retrofitted with needle bars for flat shank needles
