Organ HLx5 Machine Quilting Needles – Heavy Duty Flat Shank (10 Pack)

Organ HLx5 machine quilting needles are strong, rigid flat-shank needles designed for high-speed quilting and heavy sewing applications on domestic machines and certain quilting machines.

The HLx5 needle is based on an industrial needle design but adapted with a flat shank for household machines, providing greater rigidity and reduced needle deflection compared with standard 130/705H (15x1) needles.

This makes HLx5 needles especially useful for:

• machine quilting
• ruler quilting
• quilting on a frame
• sewing multiple fabric layers
• dense quilting designs

The stronger shaft helps reduce needle flex, which can lead to fewer skipped stitches and smoother stitch formation when quilting through thicker quilts.

• Glide 40 thread

• ruler quilting
• walking foot quilting

80/12 – Fine Detail Quilting

Why Quilters Use HLx5 Needles

• stronger shaft reduces needle deflection
• improved stitch quality when quilting thick layers
• polished surface reduces thread friction
• durable hard chrome finish

If you are bending or breaking standard 15x1 needles while quilting, the HLx5 needle may provide better performance.
