Schmetz 135x16 TRI (D) Size 140 (NM 140 / Size 22) Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Pack of 10

The Schmetz 135x16 TRI (D) industrial sewing machine needles are designed for professional leather and heavy material stitching. Suitable for the DPx16 D needle system, these high-quality chrome-coated needles are ideal for use in upholstery, automotive trimming, saddlery, and leathercraft applications.

Needle Point – D (Triangular Point)

The D (Triangular Point) features a sharp, three-edged cutting tip that forms a triangular incision, resulting in a clean, straight, and strong seam. This precision point allows for effortless penetration through leather, vinyl, and other thick materials while minimising damage or distortion to the material surface.

Perfect for belts, footwear, saddlery, and upholstery, these needles ensure professional-quality seams even on the toughest materials.
