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

The Schmetz 135x16 TRI (D) industrial sewing machine needles are built for precision stitching on leather, vinyl, and other heavy materials. These chrome-coated industrial needles are compatible with DPx16 D systems and are ideal for professional use in upholstery, leathercraft, automotive interiors, and saddlery.

Needle Point – D (Triangular Point)

The D (Triangular Point) is engineered to create a triangular incision that delivers a straight, strong seam with a clean, professional finish. This sharp, three-edged design slices easily through thick materials such as leather and coated fabrics, reducing resistance and preventing material distortion.
