SCHMETZ 135X16 TW/DPX16 N SIZE 120/19 INDUSTRIAL SEWING MACHINE NEEDLES

Schmetz 135x16 NTW (LL) Size 120 (NM 120 / Size 19) Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Pack of 10

The Schmetz 135x16 NTW (LL) industrial sewing machine needles are engineered for precision stitching on leather, vinyl, and other heavy materials. Designed for DPx16 N needle systems, these chrome-coated industrial needles are ideal for professional sewing applications such as upholstery, belts, saddlery, and leather goods.

Needle Point – LL (Twist Point)

The LL (Twist Point) features a lenticular incision angled at 135° to the seam direction, creating a straight, slightly recessed seam. This point form cuts cleanly through dense materials, ensuring accurate needle penetration and a smooth, professional finish.

It produces durable seams without distorting the leather surface, making it perfect for heavy leatherwork and decorative topstitching where a clean, straight seam is desired.

Built for Industrial Leather Applications

The Schmetz 135x16 NTW (LL) combines high precision with durability. Its chrome coating reduces friction and heat build-up during continuous operation, extending the needle’s service life and ensuring smooth stitching even through thick layers of leather or synthetic materials.
