Schmetz 135x17 SUK Size 160 (NM 160 / Size 23) Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Pack of 10

Sew extra-thick knitwear, upholstery, and stretch fabrics with precision using this pack of 10 Schmetz 135x17 SUK industrial sewing machine needles, compatible with DPx17 SUK systems. Designed for industrial lockstitch sewing machines, these chrome-coated needles offer superior strength, excellent penetration, and long-lasting performance on heavy-duty materials.

Needle Point – SUK (Medium Ball Point)

The SUK (Medium Ball Point) has a more rounded tip than the SES (Light Ball Point), allowing it to glide between fabric threads instead of piercing them. This prevents damage and skipped stitches when working with dense or elastic materials, ensuring smooth, professional-quality seams.

Key Benefits:

• Perfect for heavy knitwear, upholstery, and stretch materials

• Prevents fabric damage and skipped stitches

• Produces strong, consistent stitch quality

• Chrome coating reduces friction and increases durability
