The Schmetz 16X95 Size 140 industrial sewing needles feature a standard round point (R), designed for maximum reliability on heavy-duty applications. With its slim, conical tip, this universal point penetrates thick woven fabrics and technical textiles cleanly, producing durable seams without damaging fibres.

Engineered in extra-heavy Size 140 (NM 140 / Size 22), these needles are built for very thick, dense, and heavy materials such as canvas, upholstery, tarpaulin, and denim. Their chrome-coated surface ensures longer service life, reduced friction, and stable performance in high-speed industrial lockstitch machines.
