Specified heavy-duty machines
Use where the machine documentation identifies 216x1 / CYx1; a heavy-duty description alone is not enough to establish compatibility.
Schmetz · Specialist heavy-duty machine needles
Match the specialist system before choosing the size.
Schmetz 216x1 / CYx1 needles are for compatible extra-heavy-duty walking-foot machines, not general household sewing. This specialist system must match the machine's needle requirement as well as the intended thread and material. Choose the listed size only after checking your manual or confirming the specification with your machine supplier.
Pack of 10 in your chosen size, with 200/25 and 230/26 listed above.

Before you start
- Confirm the complete system and size required by your machine, including any additional needle designation.
- Switch off the machine and fit the needle according to its instructions, without altering the needle or clamp.
- Test slowly on matching layers and inspect stitch formation, thread condition and clearance before sewing the finished work.
Do not replace another system simply because the size is the same. If your specification includes SERV or a point suffix, confirm that detail before ordering.
Good to know
Does 230/26 identify the needle system?
No. It identifies size. Both system and size must match the requirements of your machine and sewing setup.
Are all walking-foot needles interchangeable?
No. Different systems have different dimensions and geometry. Follow the machine specification rather than choosing by appearance.
