The Schmetz 16X231 SUK Size 100 industrial sewing needles are designed with a medium ball point (SUK), rounder than the SES light ball point, making them perfect for sewing heavier stretch and knit fabrics. This tip prevents fibre breakage by displacing threads instead of cutting through them, ensuring strong, flexible seams.

Coated in durable chrome, these needles reduce friction, resist wear, and provide long-lasting performance in industrial environments. Built for lockstitch sewing machines, they’re trusted by professionals for garment production.
