SCHMETZ 2018/175X3/TQX3 SIZE 100/16 INDUSTRIAL SEWING MACHINE NEEDLES

Schmetz 175X3 Size 100 (NM 100 / Size 16) Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Pack of 10

The Schmetz 175X3 Size 100 industrial sewing machine needles are engineered for button sewing and button attaching machines, offering precise stitch quality and durability. Featuring the STU (Heavy Rounded Point), these needles are ideal for medium to heavy fabrics, ensuring reliable penetration and clean stitch formation without fabric damage.

Needle Point – STU (Heavy Rounded Point for Button Sewing)

The STU point provides a robust rounded tip designed to gently separate fabric threads rather than cut through them. This makes it ideal for button sewing applications, where secure, neat stitches are required. The heavy rounded design prevents skipped stitches, fabric tearing, and excessive wear, even during continuous industrial operation.

Built for High-Performance Sewing

Manufactured by Schmetz Germany, these needles are crafted from premium-grade steel for long life and precision. The chrome coating minimises friction and heat, extending the lifespan of both needle and thread, and ensuring consistent results in high-speed industrial sewing environments.
