Schmetz 134 LBR Size 160 Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Pack of 10

Size 23 – Wide Reverse Twist Point – Pack of 10

Compatible with: 134 LBR (CANU 18:65AV1)

The Schmetz 134 LBR Size 160 industrial sewing needles feature a wide reverse twist point (LBR), designed to cut a lenticular incision at a 45° angle to the seam direction, extending beyond the diameter of the needle. This produces a raised, decorative seam slanting slightly to the left, perfect for heavy-duty decorative stitching. With a durable chrome coating, these needles ensure smooth sewing, extended lifespan, and consistent results when working with leather, saddlery, upholstery, and automotive interiors.

• Wide Reverse Twist Point (LBR) – Cuts wider than the needle diameter.

• Heavy-Duty Performance – Perfect for leather, saddlery, footwear, and upholstery.
