SCHMETZ 135X17 SUK/DPX17 SUK SIZE 80/12 INDUSTRIAL SEWING MACHINE NEEDLES

Schmetz 135x17 SUK Size 80 (NM 80 / Size 12) Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Pack of 10

Sew knitwear and stretch fabrics with professional precision using this pack of 10 Schmetz 135x17 SUK industrial sewing machine needles, compatible with DPx17 SUK systems. These chrome-coated industrial needles are engineered for lockstitch sewing machines, ensuring durability, smooth fabric handling, and consistently high stitch quality.

Needle Point – SUK (Medium Ball Point)

The SUK (Medium Ball Point) has a rounded tip designed to gently move between fabric threads rather than piercing them. This prevents damage to knitted and stretch materials while maintaining strong, even seams. Compared to the SES (Light Ball Point), the SUK point is slightly more rounded, ideal for medium knits and elastic materials.

Key Benefits:

• Perfect for medium-weight knits, stretch, and elastic fabrics

• Reduces skipped stitches and fibre damage

• Produces soft, even stitch formation

• Chrome-coated for reduced friction and long-lasting use
