SCHMETZ 135X17 SUK/DPX17 SUK SIZE 70/10 INDUSTRIAL SEWING MACHINE NEEDLES

Schmetz 135x17 SUK Size 70 (NM 70 / Size 10) Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Pack of 10

Sew knitwear 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 deliver smooth, reliable stitching while reducing the risk of fabric damage.

Needle Point – SUK (Medium Ball Point)

The SUK (Medium Ball Point) features a slightly rounded tip that gently separates fabric threads instead of piercing them. Compared to the finer SES (Light Ball Point), the SUK point is more rounded — making it ideal for medium to heavy knitwear, stretch materials, and elastic fabrics.

Key Benefits:

• Perfect for medium-weight knits and elastic materials

• Prevents fibre damage and skipped stitches

• Produces smooth, even stitch formation

• Chrome-coated for reduced friction and longer needle life
