SCHMETZ 2018/175X3/TQX3 SIZE 125/20 INDUSTRIAL SEWING MACHINE NEEDLES

Schmetz 175X3 Size 125 (NM 125 / Size 20) Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Pack of 10

The Schmetz 175X3 Size 125 industrial sewing machine needles are designed for button sewing and button attaching machines where precision, durability, and reliability are essential. Featuring the STU (Heavy Rounded Point), these needles deliver strong, clean stitches on heavy-duty materials such as denim, canvas, and upholstery fabrics — perfect for professional garment manufacturing and repair work.

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

The STU heavy rounded point gently displaces fabric threads instead of cutting through them. This ensures durable seam strength and consistent stitch formation, even on dense materials. Ideal for button sewing applications, the STU point helps prevent skipped stitches, thread fraying, and fabric damage, producing professional-quality results every time.
