REVERSE TWIST LEATHER POINT "NRTW"

Schmetz 135X16 LR / DPX16 LR Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Reverse Twist Point

The Schmetz 135X16 LR / DPX16 LR industrial sewing machine needles are specially designed with a reverse twist point (LR / R TW), creating a 45° angled lenticular incision in the material. This results in a distinct decorative seam that leans slightly to the left—perfect for stitching leather garments, footwear, car interiors, bags, and upholstery where aesthetics matter.

Crafted with precision and coated in durable chrome, these needles ensure reduced wear, smooth penetration, and outstanding seam quality—even when working on dense or layered leather.
