Multi-directional design means more accurate stitching while moving the machine in any direction. The MR needle style has maximum flexibility and bending to help reduce needle breaks and a deep scarf to mitigate skipped stitches.
MR stands for Multi Range (also known as SAN: Special Application Needle) which was created for the textile industry, more specifically, the MR needle style was developed for automated sewing processes with multidirectional feeding systems, e.g. a longarm machine.
Key features that make the MR needle style our top choice are:
Better stability while stitching at high speed.
Specially formed eye to allow fewer skipped stitches.
Longer life (more stitches) due to the advanced shape.
With its special blade and scarf geometry, the Groz-Beckert MR needle offers outstanding bending resistance (deflection resistance), giving it extreme stability.
A deep and extended scarf that permits extremely tight adjustment of the bobbin hook to the needle.
The deep thread groove, extending also into the eye area, provides optimum protection of the thread.
With the naked eye, it is hard to tell a difference between needles. But when you are stitching at 500 to 2,000 stitches per minute, you can definitely tell when you have a good needle or a bad needle. The MR style needle is also available with a titanium-coating in several needle styles (available for most longarm machine brands). This takes an excellent needle platform and adds more value as a thin layer of titanium-coating keeps your point sharper, and extends the life of your needle by at least six times.
