The Schmetz web site has a ton of information on its products. I found this information on needle size helpful for determining which size of the universal type needle to purchase for my projects. I also stumbled across the description of the wing needle while browsing the Schmetz site. Two of my classmates in the pattern fitting class used the wing needle to create subtle but very beautiful lines of embellishment on their shirts. The wing needle creates this embellishment by pushing the fabric's woven threads apart and when you have a woven fabric (without stretch) this opening remains. This stitch would look particularly nice on linen fabric. There are some nice images of wing needle stitching here.
