Schmetz 135x16 NW (P) Size 130 (NM 130 / Size 21) Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Pack of 10

The Schmetz 135x16 NW (P) industrial sewing machine needles are designed for precise and durable stitching on leather and heavy materials. These chrome-coated needles, supplied in a pack of 10, are compatible with DPx16 systems and ideal for professional use in upholstery, footwear, leather goods, and saddlery.

Needle Point – P (Narrow Wedge Point)

The P (Narrow Wedge Point) creates a lenticular incision made at right angles to the seam direction. This unique point design delivers a strong, clean seam with minimal material damage, ensuring both strength and aesthetic consistency.

The narrow wedge shape helps the needle glide through thick, hard materials such as leather, vinyl, or coated fabrics, producing straight, durable seams ideal for structural or decorative stitching.

Needles in this system are also available with left (PCL) or right (PCR) twist grooves below the eye, optimised for specific machine hook positions in twin-needle lockstitch applications.

Built for Heavy-Duty Leather and Upholstery Work

Crafted with Schmetz German engineering, these needles feature a chrome coating for smooth fabric penetration, reduced friction, and enhanced heat resistance during extended industrial operation. The result: consistent stitch quality and longer needle life under demanding conditions.
