SCHMETZ 2018/175X3/TQX3 SIZE 90/14 INDUSTRIAL SEWING MACHINE NEEDLES

Schmetz 175X3 Size 90 (NM 90 / Size 14) Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Pack of 10

The Schmetz 175X3 Size 90 industrial sewing machine needles are designed for button sewing and button attaching machines in professional garment manufacturing. Engineered with the STU (Heavy Rounded Point), these needles ensure reliable stitch formation on medium-weight woven and knit fabrics, preventing fabric damage and skipped stitches.

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

The STU point features a heavy rounded tip that smoothly displaces fabric threads without cutting through them. This makes it perfect for button sewing applications, producing clean, strong, and consistent stitches while minimising the risk of tearing delicate materials.

Built for Industrial Precision

Manufactured by Schmetz Germany, these needles deliver exceptional performance, durability, and consistency. The chrome coating reduces friction and heat buildup, extending the needle’s lifespan and ensuring uninterrupted, high-speed sewing on industrial machines.
