SMALL TRIANGULAR TIP NEEDLES "SD1"

Schmetz 287 WK / DBX287 WKH SD1 Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – TRI TIP (SD1) 

The Schmetz 287 WK / DBX287 WKH SD1 embroidery needles feature a round point with a small triangular tip (SD1) – also known as TRI TIP. This innovative point shape creates a very fine triangular incision (only about 10% of the stitch hole), with the remainder displaced by the classic conical point. The result is a clean, straight seam with minimal material damage.

Designed for programmable and multi-directional embroidery machines, these needles are perfect for fine leather, synthetic leather, PVC/PUR-coated fabrics, and other delicate or coated materials. The chrome coating enhances durability and reduces friction, ensuring smoother sewing and fewer skipped stitches.

Ideal for producing precise stitch appearance in all directions – especially important when embroidering emblems, logos, or intricate patterns.
