Schmetz 7X3 Size 160 (NM 160 / Size 23) Industrial Sewing Machine Needles – Pack of 10

The Schmetz 7X3 Size 160 industrial sewing machine needles are specifically designed for heavy-duty lockstitch machines, delivering exceptional performance and reliability when sewing thick materials such as leather, canvas, denim, and upholstery fabrics.

Needle Point – STANDARD (Normal Round Point)

The Standard Round Point is the most versatile point style, featuring a slim, conical tip that penetrates the material cleanly without cutting fibres. It produces strong, uniform stitches while maintaining the integrity of the fabric, even under high-speed sewing conditions.

Engineered with a reinforced 2.5 mm shank and a 67.8 mm overall length, the Schmetz 7X3 provides outstanding needle stability, reducing deflection and breakage during heavy-duty applications.
