HEAVY BALL POINT "SKF"

Schmetz 134 SKF / 135X5 SKF Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Heavy Ball Point (SKF) – For Elastic & Coarse Knit Fabrics

The Schmetz 134 SKF needle is designed with a specialised SKF point (Heavy Ball Point), offering a highly rounded tip that displaces fabric fibres rather than piercing them. This makes it the perfect choice for sewing elastic materials with elastomeric threads, as well as coarse or open-knit fabrics.

The extreme roundness of the SKF point reduces the risk of thread breakage, skipped stitches, or fibre damage—ideal for high-stretch garments and challenging knits. Combined with a durable chrome coating, this needle provides smooth penetration and long-lasting performance in industrial sewing environments.
