The UYx128GAS (also known as the UY128GAS, TVx3, or 1280) is a standard industrial needle system specifically designed for coverstitch and double chainstitch machines. It is widely used in high-speed garment manufacturing for creating stretchy, durable seams on knitted and woven fabrics.

Key Technical Specifications

Equivalent Systems: MY1040, MY1044, SY7292, 128G, 149x3.

Point Styles and Applications
The "GAS" designation typically implies a regular point, but this system is most commonly sold in two specific tip styles depending on your material:
Regular Round Point (R): Used for woven fabrics, shirts, and coated materials. It features a sharper tip that is slightly rounded to be versatile for various applications.
Light Ball Point (FFG/SES): Essential for knitted fabrics and jersey. The rounded tip slides between fibers instead of piercing them, preventing snags, runs, and "bird-eye" holes in the material.
