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

The Schmetz 135x16 NTW (LL) industrial sewing needles are expertly designed for leather, vinyl, and other dense materials, offering precision, strength, and reliability for professional sewing applications. Compatible with DPx16 N systems, these chrome-coated industrial needles are perfect for heavy-duty use in leather goods, upholstery, belts, footwear, and saddlery.

Needle Point – LL (Twist Point)

The LL (Twist Point) design produces a lenticular incision at a 135° angle to the seam direction, resulting in a straight, slightly recessed seam. This special point shape slices cleanly through thick leather and synthetic materials while maintaining seam strength and visual consistency.

Ideal for decorative stitching and structural seams, the LL point delivers smooth needle penetration without tearing or damaging the fabric surface, ensuring professional-grade results every time.

Engineered for Professional Leather Applications

Built with precision by Schmetz, these needles feature a chrome coating that minimises friction, heat, and wear during continuous industrial use. They ensure long service life, stable performance, and perfect stitch formation even when working with tough materials.
