Schmetz 175X3 Size 80 (NM 80 / Size 12) Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Pack of 10

The Schmetz 175X3 Size 80 industrial sewing machine needles are designed for button sewing and button attaching machines in professional garment production. These high-quality needles feature the STU (Heavy Rounded Point), making them ideal for achieving strong, consistent stitching on medium to lightweight fabrics without damaging the material.

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

The STU heavy rounded point provides smooth fabric penetration by displacing threads rather than cutting through them. This makes it perfect for button sewing, where clean, uniform stitches are crucial. The needle’s design also helps prevent skipped stitches, thread breaks, and material tearing, ensuring consistent sewing performance.

Precision-Engineered for Industrial Use

Made by Schmetz Germany, a global leader in industrial needle technology, these needles are built to withstand high-speed operation and continuous use. The chrome coating reduces friction, resists heat buildup, and extends needle life, ensuring professional results with minimal downtime.
