Schmetz 16X95 SUK Size 120 Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Pack of 10

Compatible with: 287 WH SUK, 1738 A SUK, 16X95 SUK, 71X1 SUK (CANU 14:20FB1)

The Schmetz 16X95 SUK Size 120 industrial sewing needles are designed with a medium ball point (SUK), offering a slightly more rounded tip than the light ball point (SES). This point style gently displaces fabric threads instead of cutting them, making it especially effective for knitted and stretch fabrics, where preventing fibre breakage and skipped stitches is essential.

Built in Size 120 (NM 120 / Size 19), these needles are ideal for medium-heavy to heavy stretch and knitted textiles such as sportswear, jerseys, upholstery knits, and technical fabrics. The chrome-coated finish ensures reduced friction, longer needle life, and reliable performance in high-speed industrial sewing environments.

Key Features:

• SUK Medium Ball Point – More rounded than SES, ideal for knits and stretch fabrics.

• Heavy-Duty Size 120 – Suitable for medium-heavy to heavy stretch and knitted textiles.

• Chrome Finish – Provides durability, heat resistance, and smooth sewing.

• Industrial Lockstitch System – Compatible with 287 WH SUK, 1738 A SUK, 16X95 SUK, and 71X1 SUK systems.

• Professional Quality – Manufactured by Schmetz for consistent industrial sewing performance.
