LR Point – Leather / Reverse Twist Cutting Point

The LR (Leather / Reverse Twist Point) creates a lenticular incision at a 45° angle to the seam direction, resulting in a decorative stitch line that leans slightly to the left. This design ensures both strength and a stylish finish, even in the toughest sewing conditions. Benefits include:

• Strong, decorative seams with a leftward slant

• Smooth penetration through extra-heavy leather and coated fabrics

• Reduced fibre damage for better seam integrity

• Professional finish for demanding leather applications

The Schmetz 134-35 LR Size 160 is ideal for saddlery, harness-making, automotive upholstery, furniture upholstery, footwear, belts, and heavy leather accessories, making it a go-to choice for professionals working with thick and tough materials.
