The Schmetz 134 LR Size 160 industrial sewing needles are equipped with an LR leather reverse twist point, designed to cut a lenticular incision at a 45° angle to the seam direction. This produces a decorative seam that inclines slightly to the left, making these needles the perfect choice for extra-heavy leatherwork where seam strength and decorative quality are both required. With a durable chrome coating, they ensure reduced friction, long service life, and excellent performance in industrial lockstitch machines.
