Needle Point – LR (Leather / Reverse Twist Point)

The LR (Leather / Reverse Twist Point) creates a lenticular incision at a 45° angle to the seam direction, producing a decorative stitch that slants slightly to the left. This angled cut enables effortless penetration through tough materials while forming a distinctive, stylish seam ideal for leatherwork.

This needle type provides an excellent balance between cutting strength and seam quality, ensuring reliable performance even under demanding industrial sewing conditions.
