Schmetz Ballpoint Sewing Needles

Needles > Domestic Machine Needles > Schmetz Ballpoint Sewing Needles

Packet of 5 needles.

These needles are to fit your domestic/household sewing machine.

Has a slightly sharp cutting point for leather and other heavy non-woven synthetics including imitation leather.

Key features of the Leather Needle:

• The cutting point LL (twist point) cuts easily through leather and similar materials thanks to its cutting action. It also creates an angled stitching line, which gives the seam a decorative look.
• Please note: Leather Needles are NOT suitable for textiles due to their cutting effect, as woven or knitted fabrics can be severed during sewing.
• Choose a longer stitch length to stop the stitches being torn out. When locking the seam, make sure that the sewing thread is not severed.
• Tip: The longer the stitch length, the easier it is to see the angled appearance of the stitch and, as a result, the decorative effect of the seam. This effect can be enhanced further by using a thick sewing thread.

Sizes available:

• 18/110
• 19/120
• Assorted
