Phae,
I get the best results on knits with size 75 stretch twin needles
(Schmetz, marked 130/705 H-S ZWI). The other twins I have, which I must
have bought when I tried some "heirloom sewing by machine" dresses for
DGD, just say Zwillingsnadel Twein needle Aiguille double; none are
marked universal.
