SCHMETZ 2018/175X3/TQX3 SIZE 120/19 INDUSTRIAL SEWING MACHINE NEEDLES

Schmetz 175X3 Size 120 (NM 120 / Size 19) Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Pack of 10

The Schmetz 175X3 Size 120 industrial sewing machine needles are specially designed for button sewing and button attaching machines used in professional garment production. Featuring the STU (Heavy Rounded Point), these needles ensure consistent, strong stitching on thicker or heavy-weight fabrics while preventing material damage and skipped stitches.

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

The STU point is a heavy rounded tip designed to gently displace fabric threads rather than cut through them. This design provides a smooth stitch formation and clean finish, ideal for button sewing applications on dense or layered textiles. It helps prevent thread breakage and maintains fabric integrity, even under high-speed conditions.

Designed for Industrial Reliability

Manufactured by Schmetz Germany, these precision-engineered needles are made from high-quality steel and finished with a durable chrome coating that reduces friction, resists heat, and extends needle lifespan. Perfect for industrial use, they maintain excellent stitch quality across long production runs.
