Schmetz 16X95 SES Size 140 Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Pack of 10

Compatible with: 287 WH SES, 1738 A SES, 16X95 SES, 71X1 SES (CANU 14:20EB1)

The Schmetz 16X95 SES Size 140 industrial sewing needles feature a light ball point (SES), designed to carefully displace woven and knitted threads rather than cutting through them. This reduces the risk of fibre damage while ensuring smooth penetration and clean, durable seams.

With their large Size 140 (NM 140 / Size 22), these needles are specially suited for very heavy woven and knitted textiles such as upholstery fabrics, denim, canvas, and heavy knitwear. The chrome-coated finish enhances longevity, minimises friction, and ensures reliable sewing performance in demanding industrial lockstitch applications.

Key Features:

• SES Light Ball Point – Protects fabric by displacing threads instead of piercing them.

• Heavy-Duty Size 140 – Ideal for thick woven and knitted fabrics.

• Chrome Finish – Extends needle life and reduces friction during high-speed sewing.

• Lockstitch System Compatibility – Fits 287 WH SES, 1738 A SES, 16X95 SES, and 71X1 SES needle systems.

• Trusted Schmetz Quality – Precision-made for consistent, professional sewing results.
