Schmetz 135x16 TRI (D) Size 125 (NM 125 / Size 20) Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Pack of 10

The Schmetz 135x16 TRI (D) industrial sewing machine needles are made for professional leatherwork, upholstery, and heavy-duty sewing applications. Designed for DPx16 D needle systems, these chrome-coated industrial needles offer smooth penetration, consistent seam quality, and long-lasting performance on thick or coated materials.

Needle Point – D (Triangular Point)

The D (Triangular Point) features a sharp, three-sided cutting tip that forms a triangular incision, producing a straight, strong seam. This needle type slices cleanly through dense leather, vinyl, and synthetic fabrics, ensuring even stitching without tearing or distorting the material surface.

Ideal for automotive interiors, saddlery, footwear, belts, and upholstery, this needle guarantees precise, durable seams on heavy materials while maintaining a professional stitch appearance.

Manufactured with German Schmetz engineering, the 135x16 TRI (D) needles are finished with a durable chrome coating that reduces friction, prevents overheating, and extends service life during high-speed industrial sewing.
